28: A Photographic Tribute to Buster Posey

More about the book

Longtime sports photographer Brad Mangin collaborates with Buster Posey in this visual tribute to the star catcher's twelve seasons with the San Francisco Giants. Featuring over 150 photographs, the work chronicles Buster's journey from his debut in 2009 to his final at-bat in 2021. As one of the most cherished players in Giants history, Posey played a pivotal role in leading the franchise to its first World Series championship in San Francisco in 2010, followed by two more titles in 2012 and 2014, all expertly captured by Mangin. The book includes an introduction by veteran sportswriter Brian Murphy and essays from Buster, his teammates, managers, and notable figures like Mike Krukow, Duane Kuiper, Bruce Bochy, and Hunter Pence, providing a heartfelt perspective on Buster's illustrious career. Beyond baseball, Buster and his wife, Kristen, established BP28, a charity dedicated to improving outcomes and raising awareness of pediatric cancer, which has raised over $4 million since 2016. Kristen shares their story in the book, and a portion of the proceeds will support their foundation.
