It is an even-numbered year which means the San Francisco Giants are on pace to win their fourth World Series title since 2010.
The Giants have won in 2010, 2012 and 2014 under manager Bruce Bochy, who brought the franchise its first title in San Francisco.
Bochy had some success with the San Diego Padres, where he served as manager from 1995-2006. He won National League Manager of the Year honors in 1996 and took the team to the World Series in 1998.
He even led the Padres to back-to-back division titles in 2005 and 2006, but was let go after the 2006 season. This was the best thing that ever happened to the Giants, as Bochy came in and turned the franchise back into a winner.
He joins Dusty Baker as the only two active managers to have over 1,700 wins, and can easily reach 2,000 if he stays in San Francisco for several more seasons.
Bochy’s overall win total is impressive, but his three World Series titles is what sets him apart from someone like Baker.

The Giants are in first place once again, so it remains to be seen just how many titles Bochy can win in his already illustrious career.
