Sergio Romo Gives Bruce Bochy Awesome Retirement Gift During Visit to Miami
By Jared Kish
San Francisco Giants legend Bruce Bochy has always been a manager who has been well-liked by his players and staff. The guy is simply one of the smartest, most down-to-earth baseball minds in the game.
After this season, Bochy will be retiring as Giants manager, and his former player decided to give him a nice parting gift during his team's road visit.
Reunited and it feels so good.

Marlins reliever and three-time champion Giant Sergio Romo, who played under Bochy from 2008-16, gave his past manager a 1942 Don Julio bottle of Tequila. The two teams just ended a three-game set in Miami, but Romo met Bochy on Tuesday to hand him the sweet gift.
Romo and Bochy both have a rich history together. While out in San Fransisco, the two experienced some of the best times together. Romo was on the Giants for three World Series Championships in 2010, '12, and '14. The former Giants reliever closed three of the games in 2012.
Of course, Romo's got nothing but thanks for his former skipper.

The Marlins closer is right, Bochy is a Hall of Famer and the two are clearly still great friends. The retirement gift from Romo to Bochy is a well-deserved send off.
