even though I'm convinced he had at least three years left in him at the least achieving as much as he had, when Barry Bonds left there was something missing from his list of accomplishments, Buster did it three times and caught every pitch of it. despite meaning everything and the world to the bay, the only thing he'd do more of than play with the Giants Family, is be with the Posey family, and he'll earn every moment of that, you went out in fire, commanding the greatest team of Giants ever fielded, though I admit being saddened by your departure from this game, something tells me that the time you spent being a part of it isn't something you'd ever take back you can leave the rest to Bart and leave your number in the locker, so that no one can wear it again
same here...dodgers fan and boy am i glad Buster is retiring =), what a player and role model and only Giants player that i liked. classy to go out while still young and on top.
Weird to me too see such class from multiple dogger fans, on one thread about any Giants player. But it's definitely noticed and appreciated. Buster was a special talent, to bring people together the way he has
@@ldo1308 we can get along, multiple Vagiants fans are my co workers and even had a boss who was a Vagiants fan, let me tell you that tested my patience lol. as his $hit talking was hilarious as we won the west every year during my tenure under him. it's all in fun =)
@@ldo1308 Dodger fan here, tremendous respect for Buster Posey and his great accomplishment in baseball and winning 3 World championships. It hurt me as a Dodger fan but as a Baseball fan, those were some great Giant teams with Posey.
Buster is the embodiment of everything to love about San Francisco. He was called up when I was 11, I’m 23 now and got to grow up watching Posey getting better and better every year. Hats off to you Buster, you are a true role model to so many and your name will forever be cemented into San Francisco🧡
Posey yes. Munson no. I watched them from their rookie years. Posey help LEAD a team to 3 titles. Munson did not no matter if he was the captain Reggie led the way. Even the NY writers knew it. That's why Steinbrenner brought him in. Munson couldn't. Munson good player. Bench andFisk better at that time. One thing Posey and Munson have in common. A lot of people don't like them, but respect them. These are the top catcherd Bench, Fisk, Rodriguez ,Campanella and Josh Gibson. A lot of writers did not like Munson. It's tragic he died in a plane crash. He is not a HOF though. He is not a close miss. Just a miss. In my opinion too. A lot of players getting on the last 20 years should not be there. Even basketball HOF screwed up Grant Hill HOF what's a joke!¡!
What's amazing is that the Giants wouldn't have minded moving him to first. He retired to be with family, his newly adopted twins, gave it his all, Giants fell short this year, but Posey was always a class act and caught some of the best post season games in those 3 out of 5 historic years.
sad if people say he get into HOF only because he is a catcher by only looking at his offensive stats. you are not a true baseball fan if you don't see the true value of a catcher managing the pitchers.
Hurts to see Posey go without a proper farewell tour and after the great season he had. If there was anyone who retired a season or two early, I think it's Posey. Forever Giant tho
I'm glad for Buster and his family. It sound like Buster enduring much pain through the years to give us fan so much to celebrate. Thank you Buster for given your all always, and being such a wonderful example to us all. We will miss you.
I'm an A's fan, but I've always admired Posey because of his way of playing and dedication. Great player and leader. I'm sure all baseball fans will miss seeing him play.
What a total class act. No bulls*it 'Going away tour' just a guy who did an honest day's work for twelve years. He accepts a promotion to full time father and husband. God bless people who have values.
It's been 3 days since the news of his retirement broke, and I still can't watch this without tearing up. Thanks for the memories, Buster. You'll be missed at 3rd & King. Best wishes for your future endeavors. We'll see you in Cooperstown in 5 years. 🧡🖤
Third greatest catcher of All-Time. Only catchers with more rings are Posada with 5 and Bera with 10. Willie Mays who is considered the Greatest was in 3 world series and has 1 ring. Buster is 3 for 3. Baseball has been around in this format 120 years. Giants hadn't won in over 40 years - and when he got there his first year - they won. He is one of the 20 greatest players to ever play. in 2010 after they won he said 'why can't we do this every year?' - I'm so grateful he is going to stay on and help the organization. You are The Best Buster!
As a dodger fan I'm happy to see the giants get weaker without him but sad to see him go he was a very good catcher but to retire at a very young age why???
first ballot no doubt. If he played on the east coast people would have to admit hes better than molina which he is. I know molina has caught more games. But posey is just as good of a defender as molina and he destroys him on offensive numbers and post season stats
Thinking about him last night, how maybe he an Yadi could share duties as Redbirds could use a nice Vet to step in occasionally to share duties. Maybe ? Squeeze a bit more out of him, your only Pro so long and if you got Tank left, play. Coach Jr.
HOF barely, as he was a catcher. Any other position no. He is resume is good enough, barely to make it in with the catcher banner over his head. I put him the in the class big good, but a HOF because of his resume. So there you have it. Now you can call all your baseball friends and discuss my decision.
the Giants have more hall of famers than anyone and in 12 years Posey's WAR ranks 12th on their franchise list just putting his value into even greater perspective
Out of millions of baseball games played throughout major league baseball history. There have only been 23 perfect games. And Buster is one of the catchers that called and caught one of them
I'm a Dodgers fan, but there's no denying that he's one of the best and a surefire Hall of Famer
Surefire? Borderline at best
All my respect and best wishes to Buster Posey.
100 likes for you
he went out in style! 107 win giants team!!! had one of his best years of his career and will be missed and deserves to be in the HALL OF FAME!
even though I'm convinced he had at least three years left in him at the least
achieving as much as he had, when Barry Bonds left there was something missing from his list of accomplishments, Buster did it three times and caught every pitch of it.
despite meaning everything and the world to the bay, the only thing he'd do more of than play with the Giants Family, is be with the Posey family, and he'll earn every moment of that, you went out in fire, commanding the greatest team of Giants ever fielded, though I admit being saddened by your departure from this game, something tells me that the time you spent being a part of it isn't something you'd ever take back
you can leave the rest to Bart and leave your number in the locker, so that no one can wear it again
Buster got that BodyArmour money and said peace, I don’t blame him.
Best Catcher Giants ever had. Glad I got to witness his awesome career. Thanks for the memories and all your efforts Buster.
Such a joy to follow the Giants these past 12 years. Thanks Buster.
Poseys career coincides with my extreme love for the Giants and baseball in general. Thank you, Buster! I wish you nothing but the best!!!
Class act and first ballot hall of famer. Congrats on a great career and hopefully be seeing you coach one day
No way
@@brandonmartin4071 let's go...

He's actually a coach for his son's baseball team

As a Dodgers fan ! I respect posey ! One of the greatest catchers to ever do it ! Happy retirement champ !

This guy was who got me into baseball and was my favorite player
Buster has been my hero since I was little. Hard to see him go but whatever makes him happy
Great career! Much respect from a Cubs fan
I wish I had his demeanor. Calm poised and straight business. Hell of a player and career and I'm a Dodgers fan.
Hall of Famer!
12 seasons. Incredible
If he is a hall of famer, then Thurman Munson better be too.

Facts, that’s why Molina is million years ahead of posey is not even close. What Molina does behind that plate is goat levels!
"Behind the plate" he didnt just mean throwing out runners.
@@elpotrongo1 Posey is much closer to Molina defensively than Molina is to Posey offensively.
@@camicawber posey commanded cains perfect game 2 no hitters 14 post season shutouts
Are you saying that he should not be in the HOF because of his defense? If so then you’re crazy. Guy was an absolute legend handling a pitching staff
I’m a Dodgers fan but a bigger baseball fan great career Buster Posey!
Hurts to see Posey go without a proper farewell tour and after the great season he had. If there was anyone who retired a season or two early, I think it's Posey. Forever Giant tho
I'm glad for Buster and his family. It sound like Buster enduring much pain through the years to give us fan so much to celebrate. Thank you Buster for given your all always, and being such a wonderful example to us all. We will miss you.
I'm an A's fan, but I've always admired Posey because of his way of playing and dedication. Great player and leader. I'm sure all baseball fans will miss seeing him play.
Simply the best - with character, passion, leadership, and the mindset to win - #28 - the best SF Giant player ever.
We will miss you greatly, Buster! I am grateful you will get to spend more time with your family, but you are one of the truly great men of baseball!
Great player, great teammate, great man. Thanks for what you have given all of us Giants fans!
Today is a sad day but I’m also happy he’s retiring on his own terms.
What a total class act. No bulls*it 'Going away tour' just a guy who did an honest day's work for twelve years. He accepts a promotion to full time father and husband. God bless people who have values.
I agree. Didn't need all that attention like Jeter and the other prima donnas did when they were retiring.
It's been 3 days since the news of his retirement broke, and I still can't watch this without tearing up. Thanks for the memories, Buster. You'll be missed at 3rd & King. Best wishes for your future endeavors. We'll see you in Cooperstown in 5 years. 🧡🖤
His swing was so great and smooth. He will be missed, thanks for passing the keys to rookie catcher Joey Bart in 2022.
As a dodger fan i think he is the best catcher ever.
Posey was a 5 win player this past season, hard to believe he's leaving 22M on the table. Hard to say goodbye, what a legend.
Thank you Posey
He is a true winner!
He has accomplished a lot on the baseball field since college.
Selfish of me to say that I wish he would stay but he's more than earned retirement. All the love for you and your next endeavor Buster! Thank you.
He'll definitely get his number retired but i hope he makes the hof
The end of an era
Best one I've seen. Hats off to MLB Network

First ballot Hall of Famer; reminds me of Johnny Bench.
Forever Giant
Thank you Buster
What a legend. The Giant of Giants.
Class act Buster...all the best to you and your family.
Him and Crawford are no doubt hall of famers
Definitely a hall of famer
Best Giants player since Bonds. WILL be in the HOF someday.
thank you,the legendary player!!
Have a great life!
simply THE BEST-ty BUSTER
🐐 best catcher I’ve ever seen , this guy owns my childhood
Legend
all my respect to posey
His resume is so impressive
love you buster
Sad we won’t be able to see any more of Posey. But wish he would have finished on top once more
Hall of famer for sure
As a dodger fan I'm happy to see the giants get weaker without him but sad to see him go he was a very good catcher but to retire at a very young age why???
We all have our priority.
He has made enough money, and I beleive it is time for him to focus on his family.
Catching takes a serious physical toll on a player’s body. A 12 year career as a catcher isn’t that short compared to most positions
Thanks for saying that and I'll be happy when Kershaw and Belanger are gone....but it might be awhile for Clay 😂
The goat 🐐
nah
Your drunk
@@itzthebayarea nah just smart
More like you know nothing about baseball
Not even close.
Good luck in your future Buster
Yes. Yes, he is.
Love the hockey style mask

Watch him just come back
Hopefully
Hall of Famer, Cooperstown bound, book it
Noooooooooooooo! :(
He from my state ga
First Ballot no doubt
Dodgers fans have a Hate to Love relationship with Buster Posey
So whens he comin out of retirement
job well done 👏
first ballot no doubt. If he played on the east coast people would have to admit hes better than molina which he is. I know molina has caught more games. But posey is just as good of a defender as molina and he destroys him on offensive numbers and post season stats

Best catcher of my era.
As a dodger fan I’m glad to say he is gone but he is a good player respect man
I wonder how much longer he had in him had he known how to block a plate.
The mlb lost one of the best players he is still young but is his decision...
Here comes Joey Bart!
Hall of Famer, probably 5-6th ballot
Thank God!
Salty dodgers fan
classic dodger fan with 0 class

@@Nopedout If there were any dodGers players that I was scared of I'd want them to retire, too. 🤣
@@KurtisB lmao
Any other sport no would ask if Posey was a HOFer.
12 years?????????????
I'd take him over Molina.
You on drug then, Molina is mile ahead of him is not even close! Lol
Posey definitely had a higher peak
Please don’t compare the two
Too early to retire！
I prefer my posey shaved.
o7
HOF???
HOF
He's no yadier molina
HOF barely, as he was a catcher. Any other position no. He is resume is good enough, barely to make it in with the catcher banner over his head. I put him the in the class big good, but a HOF because of his resume.
So there you have it. Now you can call all your baseball friends and discuss my decision.
Are you having a stroke
And us baseball fans know he also played first base SMH.
@@cristianmontoya1195 ya I think he's a dodger troll
the Giants have more hall of famers than anyone
and in 12 years Posey's WAR ranks 12th on their franchise list
just putting his value into even greater perspective
Out of millions of baseball games played throughout major league baseball history. There have only been 23 perfect games. And Buster is one of the catchers that called and caught one of them
Congratulations Buster you are one of the best catchers. Enjoy your retirement!
