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.
