“Thanks For the Memories..”: San Francisco Giants’ Warm Gesture For 3x World Series Winner’s Last Game Melts the MLB World

After making his MLB debut with the San Francisco Giants in 2008, 15 years later, Sergio Romo has finally bid farewell to the sport. After representing eight Major League teams and turning 40, Romo decided that his fitting goodbye would be with the team he helped win three World Champions – the Giants.

However, the 2013 All-Star wasn’t prepared to fight for a place on the roster and decided that the curtains on his career should close during spring training. As a result, Romo went ahead and signed a minor league contract with the Bay Area’s Giants with a planned retirement after pitching one final time against the Athletics on March 27 during the Bay Bridge exhibition game.
