Managing Career
In 1996, Bochy was named the NL Manager of the Year. He has the most games managed in Padres history and with that, the most wins and losses. Bochy led the 1998 Padres to the World Series where they were swept in 4 games by the New York Yankees.
In 2006, new Padres CEO Sandy Alderson preferred to have a younger manager, so he allowed Giants General Manager Brian Sabean to interview Bochy for his job opening. Bochy agreed to a four-year contract to replace Felipe Alou and become the Giants' new skipper on October 27, 2006. He led the Giants to victory against the Texas Rangers in only five games in the 2010 World Series, and again brought the Giants to beat the St. Louis Cardinals for the NLCS title in 2012, and to a World Series title in 2012 besting the Detroit Tigers 4 games to 0.
Bochy also managed the 2004 and 2006 MLB All-Stars in the Major League Baseball Japan All-Star Series.
