"content": "\u003cp>The signs were there back in August. When Buster Posey—the greatest catcher in the history of the San Francisco Giants—was asked about his future with the team, he was non-committal. Posey simply said, “I’ll get to the end of the season and kind of assess at that point, talk to my wife and see where we are.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postid='news_11891544']For most Giants fans, it didn’t even register. Posey has long felt so unequivocally \u003cem>ours\u003c/em> that his departure hasn’t just seemed unthinkable to fans—it’s something most of us never even stopped to consider. The Giants are the only MLB team Posey has ever played for, and he has shown an unshakeable commitment to them since he arrived at age 22 in 2009. That commitment has been delivered right back to him by the fans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his retirement announcement, held at Oracle Park on Thursday afternoon, Posey said: “The last week to 10 days, I’ve been thinking, ‘How do you thank a fan base?’ And the Giants fanbase is more than just fans, it’s a community. That sense of community is something that we could feel in the ballpark each night. I hope it’s worked the other way.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Posey was the last player we had left who’d helped win all three of the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/ourturbulentdecade/2010-once-considered-underdogs-bay-area-sports-teams-ruled-the-2010s\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Giants’ World Series titles in 2010, 2012 and 2014\u003c/a>. Posey had distinguished himself in all three by \u003cem>not\u003c/em> being one of the big personalities on the team. Instead, he was the respectable lynchpin at the center of the whirlwind—always calm, collected and controlled, no matter what was happening around him. And, over the years, as his wildcard teammates peeled off and defected (Brian Wilson and Sergio Romo to the Dodgers, Tim Lincecum to the Angels, Madison Bumgarner to the Diamondbacks, etc.) Posey has remained right here in San Francisco. Ol’ faithful.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/MLBONFOX/status/1456020054030667777\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, he gave us another hint that the end might be nigh, after the Giants had their World Series hopes dashed by the Dodgers on Oct. 14. After that game, Posey said, “I’m definitely going to take some time with my wife and talk with her. Be able to be a full-time dad of four kids for the first time in a while. Take it slow and see how things progress.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With hindsight, we probably should’ve seen the writing on the wall. Posey has always been just as much of a family man as he was a dedicated ball player. After he married his high school sweetheart Kristen in 2009, the happy couple welcomed twins Addison and Lee in 2011. They adopted twin girls in 2020, and Posey sat out the short pandemic season, prioritizing his babies’ health over the danger of potentially contracting COVID-19 on the field. His younger girls, Ada and Livvi, were already up against it, having been born eight weeks premature. \u003cem>USA Today\u003c/em> called Posey’s decision to stay home “a tremendous sacrifice.” But he himself noted, “From a family standpoint, making a decision to protect children—our children—it was relatively easy.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postid='news_11745241']Posey and his wife’s commitment to children stretches far beyond their own family. In 2016, they established \u003ca href=\"https://bp28.org/mission/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">BP28\u003c/a>, a charity that raises funds and awareness for pediatric cancer. The organization has so far raised $5.5 million for treatment and research, and has established partnerships with UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital, North Carolina’s V Foundation and the Texas Children’s Hospital.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We can look at \u003ca href=\"https://www.mlb.com/player/buster-posey-457763\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Posey’s astonishing baseball stats\u003c/a> all day (and we should—it’s very satisfying), but it’s clear that this man has important goals off the field as well. Important enough to walk away from a $22 million option to stay on with the Giants. Since news leaked, late on Wednesday, that Posey was about to announce his retirement, fan responses have been sad, sure. But most of them have been rooted in pride and respect. That’s the result of Posey’s commitment to the San Francisco Giants on the field, and the compassionate way he lives his life off it. It’s born from his skills as a ballplayer, but also of his supreme likability as a human.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fans might not want to see him go, but the gratitude held for Posey and what he did in the course of his career with the Giants is palpable today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/BaySean/status/1456019375215955971\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/crawnikflip/status/1456027919684354056\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/bayarealuke/status/1456016637564309506\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/McCoveyChron/status/1456019630154080259\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/JohnLynchWTRF/status/1456020001631113232\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/thatguytylor/status/1456043068675661828\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/DaltonJ_Johnson/status/1456016432135802883\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/Jared_Carrabis/status/1456015579261898764\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/annkillion/status/1456037503933116420\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/MLBJesus/status/1456015451423711233\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Posey’s former teammate \u003ca href=\"https://www.nbcsports.com/bayarea/giants/buster-poseys-reaction-game-162-hinted-retirement-sergio-romo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sergio Romo shared in an interview\u003c/a> on Wednesday that he’d recently noticed a shift in Posey’s demeanor on the field. “This was something that was like, ‘Wow, I wouldn’t be surprised if he decided to walk home and do the family thing,’” Romo said. “Here he is. He is deciding to do the family thing. In a sense, it wasn’t surprising, but it is surprising from a fan standpoint because the guy has a lot of baseball left, in my opinion.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postid='news_10608660']Tellingly, during Thursday’s press conference, Posey’s long list of thanks to everyone who’d helped him achieve his “lifelong dream of becoming a professional baseball player” started with his family. He struggled to hold back tears while talking about the love and support Kristen has offered him throughout his career. He told his children, “Being your dad is the greatest joy in my life.” Then he thanked his parents, “for teaching me the responsibility for caring for other people.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Throughout his speech, though he referenced the Giants’ considerable achievements during his tenure, Posey’s focus remained on family.

When Buster Posey—the greatest catcher in the history of the San Francisco Giants—was asked about his future with the team, he was non-committal. Posey simply said, “I’ll get to the end of the season and kind of assess at that point, talk to my wife and see where we are.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>For most Giants fans, it didn’t even register. Posey has long felt so unequivocally \u003cem>ours\u003c/em> that his departure hasn’t just seemed unthinkable to fans—it’s something most of us never even stopped to consider. The Giants are the only MLB team Posey has ever played for, and he has shown an unshakeable commitment to them since he arrived at age 22 in 2009. That commitment has been delivered right back to him by the fans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his retirement announcement, held at Oracle Park on Thursday afternoon, Posey said: “The last week to 10 days, I’ve been thinking, ‘How do you thank a fan base?’ And the Giants fanbase is more than just fans, it’s a community. That sense of community is something that we could feel in the ballpark each night. I hope it’s worked the other way.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Posey was the last player we had left who’d helped win all three of the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/ourturbulentdecade/2010-once-considered-underdogs-bay-area-sports-teams-ruled-the-2010s\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Giants’ World Series titles in 2010, 2012 and 2014\u003c/a>. Posey had distinguished himself in all three by \u003cem>not\u003c/em> being one of the big personalities on the team. Instead, he was the respectable lynchpin at the center of the whirlwind—always calm, collected and controlled, no matter what was happening around him. And, over the years, as his wildcard teammates peeled off and defected (Brian Wilson and Sergio Romo to the Dodgers, Tim Lincecum to the Angels, Madison Bumgarner to the Diamondbacks, etc.) Posey has remained right here in San Francisco. Ol’ faithful.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

After that game, Posey said, “I’m definitely going to take some time with my wife and talk with her. Be able to be a full-time dad of four kids for the first time in a while. Take it slow and see how things progress.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With hindsight, we probably should’ve seen the writing on the wall. Posey has always been just as much of a family man as he was a dedicated ball player. After he married his high school sweetheart Kristen in 2009, the happy couple welcomed twins Addison and Lee in 2011. They adopted twin girls in 2020, and Posey sat out the short pandemic season, prioritizing his babies’ health over the danger of potentially contracting COVID-19 on the field. His younger girls, Ada and Livvi, were already up against it, having been born eight weeks premature. \u003cem>USA Today\u003c/em> called Posey’s decision to stay home “a tremendous sacrifice.” But he himself noted, “From a family standpoint, making a decision to protect children—our children—it was relatively easy.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Important enough to walk away from a $22 million option to stay on with the Giants. Since news leaked, late on Wednesday, that Posey was about to announce his retirement, fan responses have been sad, sure. But most of them have been rooted in pride and respect. That’s the result of Posey’s commitment to the San Francisco Giants on the field, and the compassionate way he lives his life off it.

He was 94.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His friend Lucy Mercer said that he died “peacefully” at his home in Mill Valley, California. The cause was “old age,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During an era when many comedians dressed in tuxedos and told mother-in-law jokes, Sahl faced his audiences in the ’50s and ’60s wearing slacks, a sweater and an unbuttoned collar and carrying a rolled-up newspaper on which he had pasted notes for his act. Reading news items as if seated across from you at the kitchen table, he made his inevitably cutting comments, often joining the laughter with a horsey bellow of his own and ending his routines by inquiring: “Is there any group I haven’t offended yet?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Every comedian who is not doing wife jokes has to thank him for that,” actor-comedian Albert Brooks told The Associated Press in 2007. “He really was the first, even before Lenny Bruce, in terms of talking about stuff, not just doing punch lines.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sahl took pride in having mocked every president from Dwight Eisenhower to Donald Trump, although he acknowledged he privately admired Democrat John F. Kennedy and counted Republican Ronald Reagan among his closest friends. Of President George W. Bush, he observed: “He’s born again, you know. Which would raise the inevitable question: If you were given the unusual opportunity to be born again, why would you come back as George Bush?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sahl became famous in 1953 at San Francisco’s hungry i (the i stood for intellectual), the perfect place for a comedian of his type. The city was a meeting ground for beatniks and college activists, and they crowded into the tiny club to hear someone who spoke to their disdain for the status quo.

Democrats, he added, were often not as forgiving.

I’ll be d—ed if I’m going to pay for a landslide.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But when Kennedy was assassinated in 1963, Sahl was devastated and the tragedy foreshadowed a decline in the comedian’s fortunes that lasted for years. He quickly became convinced that Kennedy had been killed as part of a CIA plot and he accused the government of staging a massive cover-up. He devoted much of his monologues to reading long passages from the report by the government’s Warren Commission, which had been appointed to investigate the assassination. Audiences stopped laughing and his bookings plummeted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sahl also suffered a personal tragedy in 1996 when his only child, Morton Jr., died at age 19.

While the non-salaried workers, who are primarily BIPOC, or they’re students, or don’t have access to higher education, were laid off or [had to] work in person,” says Rocha. “So I think definitely with pandemic unemployment ending, most artists are definitely struggling trying to figure out, what’s the next move?”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Jobs are available, but living wages are hard to come by\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>For many artists, that next move has been to change fields and take service industry jobs. “They’re having to go in a new direction entirely, working in restaurants or Uber or Lyft,” says Sweet Relief’s Escobedo. “And for someone who has made their entire career off of the music industry for years and years, having to do that up puts them in a very hard place and it takes a toll on their mental health.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Oakland Workers Fund organizers emphasize that the service industry isn’t a sustainable pathway out of debt either: busy kitchens don’t always follow COVID safety protocols, and many service jobs don’t pay a living wage. Applicants are reporting that restaurant owners—themselves squeezed by the pandemic—have been cutting back workers’ hours. [aside postid='news_11890716']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Working in the food service industry now is one of the most dangerous positions in terms of contracting COVID or possibly passing it on to your family members,” Espinoza says. “And I think that employers are not thinking about all of the risks that come with that. … You have to compensate somebody for the level of danger that they’re going to be bringing themselves into.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Repeated financial and mental health setbacks can become a vicious cycle, where stress impedes an artists’ ability to be creative and make strides towards their career goals. “It’s much harder to take risks when you aren’t in a stable space,” says Xavlena, noting that the pandemic derailed her film project, and that she suffered through periods with no health insurance and delayed unemployment payments. “And so again, that just perpetuates spaces being taken over by white and privileged artists.” [aside postid='news_11890071']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although the picture is bleak right now for low-income people, experts are encouraging Californians behind on rent to apply to state and local rent relief programs as protection against eviction.

While the non-salaried workers, who are primarily BIPOC, or they’re students, or don’t have access to higher education, were laid off or [had to] work in person,” says Rocha. “So I think definitely with pandemic unemployment ending, most artists are definitely struggling trying to figure out, what’s the next move?”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Jobs are available, but living wages are hard to come by\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>For many artists, that next move has been to change fields and take service industry jobs. “They’re having to go in a new direction entirely, working in restaurants or Uber or Lyft,” says Sweet Relief’s Escobedo. “And for someone who has made their entire career off of the music industry for years and years, having to do that up puts them in a very hard place and it takes a toll on their mental health.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Oakland Workers Fund organizers emphasize that the service industry isn’t a sustainable pathway out of debt either: busy kitchens don’t always follow COVID safety protocols, and many service jobs don’t pay a living wage. Applicants are reporting that restaurant owners—themselves squeezed by the pandemic—have been cutting back workers’ hours. \u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
