I'm a Dodgers fan, but there's no denying that he's one of the best and a surefire Hall of Famer

[firewheels]

All my respect and best wishes to Buster Posey.

he went out in style! 107 win giants team!!! had one of his best years of his career and will be missed and deserves to be in the HALL OF FAME!

Best Catcher Giants ever had. Glad I got to witness his awesome career. Thanks for the memories and all your efforts Buster.

Dodgers fan but always had a lot of respect for Posey. I also don't think he's aged a day 😅

even though I'm convinced he had at least three years left in him at the least
achieving as much as he had, when Barry Bonds left there was something missing from his list of accomplishments, Buster did it three times and caught every pitch of it.
despite meaning everything and the world to the bay, the only thing he'd do more of than play with the Giants Family, is be with the Posey family, and he'll earn every moment of that, you went out in fire, commanding the greatest team of Giants ever fielded, though I admit being saddened by your departure from this game, something tells me that the time you spent being a part of it isn't something you'd ever take back
you can leave the rest to Bart and leave your number in the locker, so that no one can wear it again

Such a joy to follow the Giants these past 12 years. Thanks Buster.

Class act and first ballot hall of famer. Congrats on a great career and hopefully be seeing you coach one day

Poseys career coincides with my extreme love for the Giants and baseball in general. Thank you, Buster! I wish you nothing but the best!!!

I am a Rockies fan, but all the respect and admiration to Posey on such a wonderful career.

This guy was who got me into baseball and was my favorite player

Buster is the embodiment of everything to love about San Francisco. He was called up when I was 11, I’m 23 now and got to grow up watching Posey getting better and better every year. Hats off to you Buster, you are a true role model to so many and your name will forever be cemented into San Francisco🧡

As a Dodgers fan ! I respect posey ! One of the greatest catchers to ever do it ! Happy retirement champ !

[johnlevine]

Great career! Much respect from a Cubs fan

[X-Frog]

Buster has been my hero since I was little. Hard to see him go but whatever makes him happy

[JackGeezy]

I wish I had his demeanor. Calm poised and straight business. Hell of a player and career and I'm a Dodgers fan.

[upmwinston]

sad if people say he get into HOF only because he is a catcher by only looking at his offensive stats. you are not a true baseball fan if you don't see the true value of a catcher managing the pitchers.

I’m a Dodgers fan but a bigger baseball fan great career Buster Posey!

[OMG_Pokemonn]

What's amazing is that the Giants wouldn't have minded moving him to first. He retired to be with family, his newly adopted twins, gave it his all, Giants fell short this year, but Posey was always a class act and caught some of the best post season games in those 3 out of 5 historic years.

Hurts to see Posey go without a proper farewell tour and after the great season he had. If there was anyone who retired a season or two early, I think it's Posey. Forever Giant tho
