SAN FRANCISCO — Before they wiped the water from their seats Friday and settled in to cheer for manager Bruce Bochy’s final Opening Day and honor the late Willie McCovey and Peter Magowan, Giants fans streamed into the Public House to dine, have a beverage or two and talk baseball.
There wasn’t enough rain to dampen the spirits of the diehards a couple of hours before a 5-2 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays at Oracle Park.
Yes, the Giants are in a transition phase. Bochy is in his last season. Farhan Zaidi is remaking the roster as the new president of baseball operations, mostly with players fans have never heard of.
