‘It was very important for me to be able to say thank you to the fanbase,’ Posey said after the hourlong pregame ceremony.
SAN FRANCISCO — Felipe Alou, the former Giants’ outfielder and manager, had a saying:“As great a player, he’s an even better man,” said former GM Brian Sabean, relaying Alou’s wisdom in a recent interview with the Bay Area News Group. Before reading further, you already know who he is talking about.
“It’s a feather in the organization’s cap that he retired as a Giant,” said Sabean, who along with Tim Lincecum were probably the two most notable absences from the festivities honoring Posey’s career on Saturday. “He’s as good of a person as you could ever be around in a clubhouse and in life,” said Alex Wood, who faced Posey 27 times as an opponent then joined forces for his final season. “To see him day in and day out do what he did last year, just as a baseball fan, was friggin’ awesome. … I feel really fortunate to have gotten to spend last year with him.”
“I enjoyed every moment, every battle,” Molina said. “We’ve got mutual respect. When you see a player like that, you’re just trying to learn. That’s what I did with him and that’s what he did with me.” Perhaps it’s fitting that Buster Posey Day came only 24 hours after the Giants celebrated Willie Mays’ 91st birthday.
