Bruce Bochy’s recliner joke perfectly summed up his journey to a Rangers World Series win

Bruce Bochy went from relaxing in retirement to leading a World Series effort for the Rangers.

The Texas Rangers have won their first World Series in franchise history, and they have future Hall of Fame manager Bruce Bochy to thank for that.

After leading the San Francisco Giants to three titles as manager, Bochy came out of retirement this past offseason after a few years away to manage the Rangers.

It wound up working out spectacularly, as Bochy led the Rangers to a championship over the Arizona Diamondbacks in his first season managing the dugout.

While reflecting after the big win on how he got to this moment, Bochy recalled how he was relaxing in a recliner in Nashville, Tennessee, before he got the call to come back to the majors.

It’s really neat to hear Bochy describe how dramatically his life changed and how much it means to him to get to celebrate yet another impressive title effort.

While Bochy didn’t really need to do anything else to confirm his future Hall of Fame status, this is just the icing on the cake for the legendary manager.

Now, he can return to Arlington to help Texas potentially win another title next year.
