I know this is such a hard thing to come to terms with…but I know that you are such an amazing athlete that I don’t by any means rule you out for the rest of this season!! If anyone could come back it would be you!!
And if not, you will be back better than ever next season and we will all be waiting to cheer you on…
You are missed, but you need to take care of yourself now…Once you’re better we can’t wait to see your smiling face in the dugout 🙂
Buster,
so sorry to hear about your injury. You will truly be missed on the Giants while you are out. Just won’t be the same without you. Been a huge fan of you since your first game with the Giants last season. Still be rooting for you for as long as your in baseball. Have a speedy and great recovery.
From your Giants Fans in the Aloha State. Went to A.J. Cartrights grave today (father of Modern Baseball – 90ft between bases and all that – who is buried here in Honolulu) and said prayers for a healthy full recovery for you. I’m thinking for the best recovery outcome, you need to come to Hawaii. We will take very good care of you. We Love You Buster Posey!
Buster, we are certainly going to miss you behind the plate. But that doesn’t mean you need to rush your recovery. Do what the trainers/doctors tell you. We want you back but we want you well. 🙂 Take care. Best wishes to you and your family.
Dear Buster,
I’m so sorry that you were injured. But when you’re sitting on your front porch in a rocking chair reflecting on your record-breaking baseball career later in life this will be a small bloop on the radar, not to mention a dramatic story to tell the bazillions of fans listening to you (on second thought, this might have to be a youtube video to accommodate all the people – “Buster’s Rocking Chair Ruminations” or something equally alliterative). In the meantime though, enjoy your time off and keep your other leg strong! I can’t wait to see you back on the Giants.
I had flashbacks to Pete Rose the moment he lunged for you when he didn’t have to. I know it was part of the old game, but so was headhunting pitchers and cleats up takeouts. You play the game with grace and poise and when that is marred by cheap and brutal we all feel less. I could dismiss this as a part of the game if you were blocking the plate, but you weren’t in the least. It would be the same if the runner was clotheslined by the catcher with the tag away from the plate, a poor choice that damages the heart of the game.
A clean play where everyone does their best inside the rules and the spirit of the game can win the respect of all the fans, not just your fans. This just made a team take a lead and took away a light in a room that needs all it can get. Heal and get back when you are ready, the fans respect you enough to wait for the day and the joy that will come when next you play our game.
It hurt a lot to not see you play tonight… You are dearly missed. You are in our prayers. Next season, I hope you will be fully recovered so you can make your fans happy again.
This Giants fan is hoping and praying for as little pain and lots of healing in your very near future. I’m sad you’ll be out the rest of the season but look forward to seeing a healed and happy Buster playing in 2012! (I’m sporting my orange and black every friday) GO GIANTS!!! 🙂
Dear Buster,
Even through this brutal injury, you exemplify the words “class act”. I am distraught about the situation, and I, along with thousands of others, will have a bittersweet feeling as I go to Giants games while you are gone. We know that you are central to the success of the Giants and we will miss you tremendously. But, more importantly, I know that your strength (physical and emotional) will enable you to continue your superb career. Here’s to full recovery at YOUR pace.
Linda Lipner
Buster hang in there. I know in time you will be back good as new! Thanks for being such a hige part of the Giants success last year. I saw my first Giants game 44 years ago at age 6 and still play ball today. While my father didn’t live to see the Giants win a world series I’m honored to have witnessed it with my wife, son and family in our lifetime. Al the best for a speedy complete recovery. Please take the time to enjoy some time with your wife and the twins who will soon enter your life.
Feel better Buster! We look forward to seeing you get better and back on the field! You’re such a great player and we love watching you play. Good luck with recovery!
This household has been in mourning since you got hurt and will miss you dearly. Do recover quickly and yet somehow find a way to make your time off and injured somehow a positive experience.
Get better soon Buster! My husband turned me into a Giants fan last year and I am so sad about your injury. It’s just not the same watching the game without you there. Get well soon!
Work as hard on your rehab as you have studying opposing batters and you’ll do great Buster! Keep your chin up, adversity will remind you just how much you love being out there and will make your future playing time all the sweeter!
I, and many other Giants fans, can’t wait to see you back on the field.
To my fav SF Giant…Posey….i was so upset to see you get hurt in such an unfair play! I am hoping for a quick recovery and that you will be back in no time to help us get to the World Series once again! Best regards to you and your family! i love you Buster!! ❤ 'Stina Tang
Dear Buster,
That was a brutal hit you took!!Im soo sorry to hear that you are broken and torn!!The game will not be the same without you there!!You will be sorely missed!!We will be praying for a quick and speedy recovery!!
Dear Buster, You are great ball player, but an even a better soul, evidenced by constant displays of grace and integrity. Thank you for bringing your all to baseball, it will be less interesting without you for a while. Your fans look forward to the day you return to the game. Until then, wishing you well and keeping you in my prayers. Krista
Part of me wants you back tomorrow, but the majority wants you to take all the recovery time you need! Think I am going to have to wear my Buster Posey jersey to work on more than just casual Friday in support of my favorite player on my favorite team. Your fans love you and wish you the very best!!! Let me know if I can do anything to help (for example, I make really good chocolate chip cookies).
Here’s to a good recovery. Don’t want it to be speedy, nor should you want to rush it. We’re proud of all that you accomplished, and want you back on the field, but it’s best to do what is necessary and don’t come back too soon. Good luck recovering and you’ll always have a place in this Giants fan heart.
Buster, I hope and pray you heal soon. You are my favorite Giant!!! I am sad I won’t be seeing you for the rest of the season from FC121. Take care and be well soon! Arlene
Buster,
I love your passion for the game, which you show every time you’re behind the plate. Please make a speedy recovery and know that the Giants nation is behind you all the way. Best wishes to you and your growing family. Listen to your wife and eat all your jello (just a little hospital humor). -Val
Dear Buster,
Say it aint so! You’re my favorite ballplayer and embody everything that’s great about baseball- your focus, maturity, leadership, cool head, and skills as an athlete are inspiring. You made me fall in love with the Giants and baseball all over again. If anyone can come back 100 percent, it’s you! Get well soon, I’ll miss you on the field and you’ll be in my thoughts! – EA
Wishing you the quickest and best of recovery. Believe in the Giants; they will get to the playoffs. Come back in October and show everyone why you are part of the defending world champ squad.
wow, the outpouring of thoughts, prayers and well wishes to you are astounding…Buster, you are such a gifted athlete and positive role model on and off the field, i literally cried when i woke to the news of your injury; my heart is heavy. My entire family right down to my grandbabies are SFGIANTS fans here in Turlock, CA and we all send our thoughts and prayers to you and your family…may your recovery be swift and complete. God Bless you, Buster from the entire “Posey Posse!”:) Oh yeah…GO GIANTS!!!!!
hey man sorry bout the injury, well I know you gonna be just sitting around and I would like to send you a copy of the biography of Roberto Clemente if that don’t get you anymore fired up for a comeback like I bet you already are I don’t know what will!
Buster,
I am a huge fan of you and the Giants. I have learned a lot from watching you play the game of baseball with such respect and excellence. We are going to miss you in the line up everyday. Can’t wait to have you back in that Giants uniform playing for us everyday. I wish you a speedy recovery and we need you back at 100%. Hang in there the game is waiting for you.
Heal well, Buster, but take as long as you need to do it! We love you, we’ll miss watching you, and we’ll be right here waiting to cheer you on when you return. You truly are the heart and soul of the SF Giants!
You’re a rock, Posey! You’re a year younger than me and I completely look up to you. I admire your positive attitude toward the whole incident. Watching that play live the other night, I thought your head got smashed…what an absolutely terrifying thing to see. Like you said, glad you “only” have a tore up leg. See you at ballpark, Buster! Can’t wait to see you in the squat again.
Buster, please get well and enjoy your family during this unfortunate hiatus. I just want to say that my prayers are with you. At 40 years old, I am a brand new fan to baseball–the Giants specifically–because of you. Your talent and charm won me over during the amazing season you and your team had last year. My husband credits you for now being able to enjoy a game while I ask questions and root on the team instead of shouting “Change the channel! I hate baseball!” as I have for the past 20 years. We were watching when you were hurt and I could see how much pain you were in and felt really sorry for your wife, undoubtedly watching in horror. Get well quickly and spend some quality time with her! Much gratitude, Jona from American Canyon, CA.
