Former San Francisco Giants manager Dusty Baker and former Giants manager Bruce Bochy have been highlighted as deserving candidates for the Baseball Hall of Fame, representing a connection to successful eras in Bay Area baseball.
Baker guided the Giants to five 90-win seasons and a World Series appearance during his tenure. He ranks eighth all-time in major league managerial victories and later captured a World Series title with the Houston Astros.
Bochy, who managed the Giants to three World Series championships, also boasts a strong Hall of Fame case. Both managers are seen as symbols of a golden period for baseball in the San Francisco region.
