Former Padres player, manager who won three World Series crowns with the Giants jumped back into baseball's swirl at Winter Meetings
at the Manchester Grand Hyatt downtown. “You ever coach T-ball? I said, I’m outta here.”
Bochy, who will turn 68 in April, becomes the second-oldest manager in the majors. When his press conference reached the finish line Monday, he hugged his sole elder, Dusty Baker of the World Series-winning Astros. “There were times even going out to argue with an umpire was painful. Now everything feels great. I’m doing stuff I couldn’t do 10 or 15 years ago.”
“I wanted to be a part of it because you could see that they were ready to give us the tools to help this happen,” he said. Now, Bochy will manage against two of his former Padres players in the American League with Phil Nevin taking over the Angels with Mark Kotsay doing the same with the A’s.“There’s a right time and place for certain things, and this certainly felt that way for me coming to Texas,” Bochy said. “I said, for me to do this, I had to feel like it was the right fit.”
