This will be Bruce Bochy's 25th season as a major league manager, and it will be his last.
The San Francisco Giants skipper has announced that he will retire after this season, saying he informed the club Monday.
He says it's time for him to step down, adding that ``It's been an unbelievable ride.''
Bochy turns 64 on April 16 and is entering his 13th season with the Giants. He led the team to World Series titles in 2010, 2012 and 2014 among his four post-season berths.
Bochy also led the Padres to the 1998 World Series and is 74 victories away from 2,000 for his career.
He intends to stay in baseball in another role that has yet to be determined.
