Everyone loves a weird baseball stat.
A's designated hitter Khris Davis has a tendency to hit with a .247 average year after year after year after year, for example.
And then there's two-sport athlete Deion Sanders who had consecutive 28 RBI seasons from 1992-95 (hat tip to Ryan Spaeder for that one), Reds' first baseman Joey Votto popped up to a first baseman for the first time ever this season, and Giants skipper Bruce Bochy just did something to add him into that unique category:
Bruce Bochy has managed from 1995-2019.
His current managerial record is 1995-2019. 😱

Bochy's 2,000th win is on the horizon and also appears to be the main mission now that the Giants' season is less than ideal heading toward playoffs.
Whether he finishes his final season as a manager over the .500 mark remains to be seen, but many have already tipped their caps to Boch including the Los Angeles Dodgers who recently paid tribute to him with a Vin Scully-narrated two-minute tribute to him.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts, one of his former players, presented Bochy with a signed Sandy Kofax jersey, one of his favorite players growing up.
This fun little stat won't stand following Tuesday night's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates, but we can smile for now at it's weirdness.
