Bruce Bochy won 951 games with San Diego.
The Padres picked a nice way to say thanks.
Before the Giants-Padres series started at Petco Park on Friday, the home team saluted the retiring Bochy, who is managing his final series in San Diego.
The Padres made a tribute video that doubled as a study in mustache evolution.

Just about everywhere Bochy has gone, gifts have followed. That continued Friday, with a fishing pole, a large wine bottle and a picture frame filled with images of his time in San Diego offered to the Giants skipper.
Bochy managed the Padres from 1995-2006, winning the pennant in 1996. He finished 951-975 before his Giants tenure began in 2007.
