On Nov 1, 2010, Bruce Bochy led the San Francisco Giants to a World Series win over (you guessed it!) The Texas Rangers.

Bruce Bochy is only manager in MLB history to win title with team he beat in World Series

In the history of Major League Baseball, only four managers have won a World Series with multiple teams:

Bucky Harris, Bill McKechnie, Sparky Anderson, Tony La Russa --- Make it five!

Not only did Texas Rangers manager Bruce Bochy join this exclusive club, which includes four Hall of Famers, but he has the most World Series titles of any of them, having won three with the San Francisco Giants (2010, 2012, 2014) and this most recent one with Texas.

That's right. Bruce Bochy has now won a World Series with the Texas Rangers and beaten them in a World Series.
