![]() ![]() ![]() Even the players that were here before him seem to look up to him. And even at his young age, he comes across as being a leader. “He comes across as being genuine, very humble. He’s got it all.” – Hall of Fame catcher Johnny Bench San Francisco Giants catcher Buster Posey announced Friday morning hes opting out of Major League Baseballs truncated 2020 season. “You’ve got to say he’s a rare example of any phenom that stands up and does the job. Northern Californians have adopted Buster as one of their own, as he led the Giants to 3-World Series Championships – he is the longest tenured Giant, and not only the face of the Giants franchise but one of the faces of MLB. The progression has not stopped, as he led San Francisco to two more championships in 20 and in 2012 won the National League Most Valuable Player Award, which had not gone to a catcher in 40 years. He was the 2009 Topps Minor League Player of the Year, and a year later earned National League Rookie of the Year honors while helping the Giants win the World Series. At Florida State University, he was consensus National Player of the Year, an Academic All-American and signed for the largest bonus in draft history. At Lee County High School in Georgia, he played for the USA Junior Olympic team and was state Player of the Year and an All-American. This success comes as little surprise Buster has been a superstar since he was a teenager. San Francisco Giants star catcher Buster Posey decided to opt out of the 2020 season Friday out of health concerns for his newly adopted twin baby girls. Buster is one of the most decorated players in the history of baseball – just the second player ever to have won Rookie of the Year, Most Valuable Player and three World Series rings.
