Tony Vitello charms at Giants' introduction. Here's why hiring him was Buster Posey's purpose pitch
In picking Tony Vitello as the new San Francisco Giants manager, Buster Posey didn't just throw the baseball industry a changeup, he picked a skipper who might help them escape the mire of mediocrity.
That moment was 11 years ago. Posey played six more seasons, retired and became the Giants’ president of baseball operations. Vitello became University of Tennessee’s head coach, turned the Vols into a collegiate powerhouse, and now is making the unprecedented leap from collegiate head coach to major-league manager.
In a best-case scenario, this is the last time Giants fans will need to think about Tony Vitello and the next time will be in the playoffs.
In this thrilling baseball highlight, watch as Buster Posey exhibits his incredible skill and agility on the field. From the catcher's position, Posey pulls off an impressive sidearm throw to second base while remaining on his knees.
Despite all the success he enjoyed in previous rounds of the postseason, Blake Snell's exploits have proven ineffective against the Toronto Blue Jays in the World Series.
