Ahead of their home clash against the St. Louis Cardinals on Saturday, the San Francisco Giants took some time to commemorate the career of former catcher Buster Posey. The team held a “Buster Posey Day,” where former Giants players and coaches paid tribute to the career of the three-time World Series champion.
Posey also spoke at the scheduled pre-game ceremony. He went through many of his highs during his run with the Giants, including the team’s 2012 World Series run that included an NLCS win over the Cardinals.
When reminiscing on the Giants’ triumph over the Cardinals, he took somewhat of a subtle jab at St. Louis after noting that a “few guys that were on that team are still over there.”
“It makes it special for me that the Cardinals are here today,” Posey said.
The comment garnered plenty of oohs and ah's from Giants fans in attendance, many of whom sure celebrated the team’s 3-1 series comeback against the Cardinals 10 years ago.
Posey did not necessarily shine for the Giants in the NLCS victory over the Cardinals, as he hit .154 and recorded a mere one RBI over the seven games. Nonetheless, he had the last laugh in the series, which was also the case two years later in the 2014 NLCS.
From the three World Series titles to the seven All-Star nods, Posey finished his career in San Francisco as one of the more prolific hitters in franchise history.
