Bruce Bochy waved hello to familiar faces and posed for photos with fans on the field before getting to work with the Texas Rangers.

Different uniform, different dugout, still beloved in the Bay Area.

Bochy received a warm welcome in his return to Oracle Park on Friday night, guiding the AL West-leading Rangers against his former San Francisco Giants.

During pregame introductions, Bochy received a roaring standing ovation and emerged from the dugout with waves and a tip of his cap in appreciation as fans chanted "Bochy! Bochy!"
