Buster Posey is eager for former Giants stars to return and inspire the team as they aim for a more entertaining and successful season
San Francisco: Buster Posey is feeling pretty hopeful about the upcoming season. He’s excited about the new players joining the Giants and thinks they’ll bring a fresh vibe to the team. After his first offseason in charge, he’s looking forward to a more entertaining style of play that could lead to more wins.
But it’s not just about the new faces on the field. Posey wants to honor the Giants’ rich history, especially the championship teams. He noticed that the previous management had removed a lot of the memorabilia from the clubhouse, and he’s keen to change that. He believes it’s important to celebrate those great moments.
One of the coolest things is that Posey is hoping some of the Giants legends will come back to help out. He’s already reached out to a few former teammates, like Madison Bumgarner, about possibly joining the team in some capacity. Posey thinks it would be amazing for younger players to learn from someone like Bumgarner, who has so much experience and knowledge to share.
Posey mentioned how fun it would be to walk into the clubhouse and see legends like Will Clark or Barry Bonds hanging out. He wants to create an environment where being a big leaguer is enjoyable and where players can connect with the greats of the game.
This idea isn’t new; it actually started last year when manager Bob Melvin returned to the Giants. He’s been encouraging former players to visit the team during spring training and the season. Last year, Clark and Bonds were around more, which was great for everyone.
Posey remembers how special it was when Hall of Famers would come to spring training and share their wisdom. He didn’t fully appreciate it back then, but now he sees how valuable those moments were. Just sitting down with some of the greatest players in baseball history was a unique experience.
As Posey moves forward, he’s eager to find out how his former teammates want to stay involved. He’s all about making those connections and ensuring that the Giants’ legacy continues to inspire the next generation of players.
