It's not that shocking. He took 2020 off and I'm thinking he's played enough. Retire his jersey and let's ride with Bart. #Legend

After hearing his post NLDS interview, this doesnt really surprise me. I was really hoping he would take some time and realize he still had a lot left in the tank, but apparently his mind was made up.
Sad day for us fans regardless.

Just the ultimate Giant in every possible way. Always classy on and off the field. He better get a statue one day. He has been responsible for so many memorable moments. It's a very sad day because I think he has a few good years left but I'm also glad he's going out on top after an all star season.

Damn. I remember driving in the car listening to KNBR when they were talking about him being selected in the draft. He was the player I wanted. Can't even recall exactly why I wanted him I think he was noted as one of the top players that year. MLB draft can be weird some teams at the top don't take the best player cuz they want to save cash or whatever. I think I saw he was considered possibly the best player in the draft and we got him I believe at #6. Storybook career, from ROTY, the injury, the rule changes, the comeback as MVP, the grand slam, the perfect game, the no hitters, buster hugs, the comeback in 2021. LEGEND.

Calling Buster a good Giant is like saying Elon Musk is well off financially

Originally I figured he would retire after 2021, but after his great year I thought he would want at least one more season. Sad day. The end of an era. Almost as tough to hear as when Patrick Willis announced his retirement, which was more surprising.

Except now theres a black hole at catcher. And in leadership. They better bring Belt back, because even though it started as a joke, he might actually need to be the captain now.
