Obviously, those games don’t count, but I still think for the tone that we’re trying to set, it was a positive to win some games.”

Regardless of rising up in Southern California, Koss rooted for the Giants and relished of their three championships in 2010, 2012 and 2014. He remembers being in Kansas at his grandparents’ home when Barry Bonds hit his record-breaking 756th house run, staying up late to witness historical past. Koss, traded to the Giants from the Boston Purple Sox final 12 months, additionally remembers being at house when Posey hit his well-known grand slam in opposition to the Reds in Recreation 5 of the 2012 NLDS.
