The future Baseball Hall of Fame manager has plenty of stories to tell about the ‘Say Hey Kid’ from his time with the Giants.

The Giants have been around since 1883 when they were founded as the New York Gothams. Later renamed the Giants, they moved to San Francisco in 1958.

Bochy’s first spring training was in 2007. His office in the spring training facility had a perk. It was across the hall from the office provided to one of San Francisco's special assistants — Willie Mays.“My first day of spring training he walks in with a dozen baseballs, signed, and said, ‘You’re probably gonna need these,” Bochy said with a smile. “That was such a great gesture because the last thing you want to do is go ask him for baseballs.

Now 93 years old, Mays remains in an assistant role with the Giants, a role that Bochy filled when he left the dugout after the 2019 season.
