Longtime sports photographer Brad Mangin teams up with Buster Posey
himself in this visual celebration of the star catcher's twelve
seasons with the San Francisco Giants. Packed with over 150
photographs, 28: A Photographic Tribute to Buster Posey captures
Buster's entire career, from the first time he stepped foot onto
the field for the Giants back in 2009 all the way to his final
at-bat in 2021. One of the most beloved players in Giants history,
the rookie catcher helped carry the franchise to its first World
Series championship in San Francisco in 2010, and from there, the
rising star carried the Giants to win two more World Series in 2012
and 2014-all brilliantly documented by Mangin.With an introduction
from veteran sportswriter and San Francisco radio host Brian
Murphy, along with essays from Buster and his teammates, managers,
and other sports luminaries-including Mike Krukow & Duane
Kuiper, Bruce Bochy, Matt Cain, Brandon Crawford, Gabe Kapler,
Hunter Pence, Sergio Romo, Logan Webb, and Barry Zito-28 tells the
story of Buster's illustrious career from the heartfelt perspective
of those who know him best.Off the field, Buster used his platform
to help children, and now his legacy continues to transform lives.
He and his wife, Kristen, created and nurtured BP28, a charity that
has raised over $4 million since 2016 in its endeavor to improve
outcomes and raise awareness of pediatric cancer. Kristen also
shares that story here, and a portion of the proceeds from this
book will benefit their foundation.
