As a kid, Brett Bochy served as a bat boy for his fathers team in San Diego. Now, hes a right-hander his dad can summon out of the San Francisco bullpen. Bochy had his contract purchased by the Giants from Triple-A Fresno on Tuesday. His manager — and father — Bruce Bochy will have the best seat in the house when the 27-year-old makes his major league debut. This will be the second time a San Francisco player has taken the field with his dad as the skipper. Moises Alou played outfielder for Felipe Alou in 2005. According to information the Elias Sports Bureau provided the team, this will be the ninth time for a father-son, manager-player combination in the majors, joining: Connie and Earle Mack with the Philadelphia Athletics (1910), Yogi and Dale Berra with the New York Yankees (1985), Cal (Sr.) and Cal Ripken with Baltimore (1985), Cal (Sr.) and Billy Ripken (1987), Hal and Brian McRae with Kansas City (1991), Felipe and Moises Alou with Montreal (1992), Bob and Aaron Boone with Cincinnati (2001) and the Alous again with the Giants. usatoday/story/sports/mlb/2014/09/02/brett-bochy-joins-his-father-in-the-big-leagues/14994661/
