    Hey Buster,
    Our family’s best wishes are with you man! You and the reast of your team mates helped make a new generation of Giants fans out of our 4 young boys, and my wife and I couldn’t be any prouder. Thanks for what you and the rest of the Giants have done for us long time fans (as well as the new ones)! Heal strong and fast!

    This year my son mathew turned three during baseballs opening week, he loves baseball and hits most of the pitches i throw to him. My first jersey as a young giants fan was#44 willie mccovey. When my wife karrie and i saw the number 28 jersey earlier this year we had to buy it for Matthew. Our battle cry this year was and still is “Come on Buster Posey !!
    Matthew was asleep in those fateful extra innings- but the next day like the rest of us he just kept saying “buster posey got hurt-Why? When i told him yes he insisted on putting on his posey jersey, giants shorts, black and orange shin gaurds and headed outside (a little sick) he kept his head in the game and swung at every pitch and ran his bases always sliding into home.
    Finding heroes for your son in this world can be tricky, telling him that the other guy was trying to win the game at the same time knowing the guy had a chance of winning if he would have slid into home not bulldozed a great player.
    Anyway we are wishing you a very speedy recovery-go giants!!! hope to see you suited up soon. Thanks for being the player and hero that you are- The Townzens, Bethel Island, California- ps. The fishing is great out here , now that you have some time !!

    Hey Buster,
    Hope you are doing well and you have a great recovery. You had a great team working on you. FYI, I had ACL replacement some time ago and was operated on by Dr. Michael Wall, part of the SF 49er’s surgery team under Dr. Dillingham. I ran a marathon 1.5 years later and have had no knee trouble since (that was in 1999!). I did play NCAA Softball at one time, and although you are in a totally different “league” of play, getting back to my “old athletic self” was important. Your recovery will go well; you are young, strong and motivated!! Just know that the rest of your body may feel disconnected from your wounded part for a while. Those are nerves healing. Likely you will be pushed hard (but not too hard) to come back healthy. Stay focussed and don’t get down; often it’s the mental part of an injury that is the hardest to deal with. Anyhow, good luck!! We’ll see you back out on the field next year!! -Laurel

    Buster Posey, I hope you are feeling better & i’m glad your surgery went well. Your my favorite player on the team, not because your cute, but because your so talented & no one can play the part of the catcher as good as you! This is my 2nd time posting a comment & I hope you get better soon. Stay strong & know that you are in my prayers. ❤

    Buster,
    Sugar Ray Leonard once said that an old boxer told him, “You’re young for a very short time, you’re old for a very long time.” Don’t rush your recovery, you’ll need to walk on that leg for a very long time.
    You are obviously a very special person on and off the field.
    Sending healing and calming thoughts to both you and your dear wife.

    I’m very disappointed that you won’t be back in 2011.
    Be ready for another World Series behind the plate in 12!
    By then it will be 3-Peat time!

    Hi Buster,
    Know that no matter where you are or how you are doing, I will love you and support you all the way…
    even if you are on the Dodgers (which I hope won’t happen, but I will still be rooting for you!!) You will always be my favorite baseball player. I can’t wait to tell my kids, “Oh, I got to see the great Buster Posey play back when the Giants were good and won the world series! oh those were the days!”
    haha but seriously, get better really really really soon but don’t rush it!

    you are in all baseball fan’s prayers but especially mine!

    -Katie ❤

    Hi Buster, here are the last 8 of my mini-poems i wrote for you and the guys. a hard copy is on the way. the last one i wrote to you online should’ve been Javier’s.
    (there are 40 total)
    Our pitching coach is Dave
    he hones our hurlers brave
    he helps relievers save
    and to wins the way does pave.

    Our GM’s name is Brian
    and with him we’re sure not cryin’
    if injuries us be fryin’
    fresh help he will be buyin’.

    Our third base coach his name is Tim
    he sure is full of vigor and vim
    he won’t send runners on a whim
    he’ll wait – then wave – and home they’ll skim.

    Our back-up catcher’s “Stew”
    to fans he still is new
    he’s learning each pitcher’s menu
    and his talents won’t leave us blue.

    Quick and nimble is our Manny
    he sure ain’t no stove-up granny
    he fields every nook and cranny
    and then his teammates pat his fanny.

    Damn filthy’s our Ramon
    it’s fast becoming known
    he cuts batters to the bone
    as he fiercely pounds the zone.

    A talented player’s DeRosa
    we gals want to cuddle him close-a
    and share with him a giant mimosa
    and say “Queremos no otra cosa.” *
    * spanish for ‘we want no other thing’

    We’re glad to have back our Casilla
    when he pitches, from worry we’re free-a
    his fastballs you hardly can see-a
    and the batters exclaim, “Mama Mia!”
    Hope you’re doing good today, and Kristen too. Love ya kid.

    Hope you’re feeling better. My whole family was very bummed for you. I absolutely cringed watching the hit you took by Cousins. My daughter is a catcher on a travel softball team and I can’t imaging her taking a hit like that fun a runner. I hope they change the rule. Get well and work hard. Hope to see you at the park next Spring!!

    I saw you play in Stockton one time before you were called up. You were so great with the fans and it was awesome to see such talent in such a close setting. We cheered so hard for you last year and when you came to DC (where we now live) this year. I hope that you heal fast but take all the time you need, Giants fans will be waiting for you!

    Oh, somewhere in this favored land the sun is shining bright,
    The band is playing somewhere, and somewhere hearts are light,
    And somewhere men are laughing, and little children shout;
    But there is no joy in Giantsville — Buster Posey was taken out.

    Dear Buster,

    Last year was absolutely unbelievable and the Giants could not have done it without you. My thought and prayers for your full recovery and return next year better than ever! You’re a remarkable player, once in a lifetime, and human being with a huge heart and we love you for that! Get well soon and we’ll really miss watching you play this year.
    Thank you for all that you’ve given. We truly appreciate it!

    Hey Buster,
    It was so heartbreaking seeing you get hurt out there…I have been a Posey fan while watching you in my hometown of Fresno with the Grizzlies, and it was SO amazing watching you with the Giants. You are missed! My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family for a speedy recovery! Can’t wait to see you back out on the field! Get well soon! God bless =]

    Wow, Buster. Way to go out with a bang. I’m praying for your successful surgery, rehab and return to play. With God’s healing power and a little Giants magic, I’m even hoping to see you in a game before the end of the season just to defy all the odds and predictions. Enjoy your time off to be with your wife and the new twins that are coming soon. And we’ll pray you through the tough rehab to come.

    Heal up 100%.

    Dont rush it, take all the time in the world. It’s more important than a trophy, a few lines of ink in the paper.

    Thanks for last year, thanks for the drama, thanks for the show.

    Dear Buster,

    I hope you have a quick recovery! I’m definitely going to miss you the rest of the season!I was absolutely shocked you were hurt, but I know you’re staying strong for everyone.

    I see you on TV and at Giants games all the time and love to watch you play. I’ve been a Giants fan ever since I was born (so 14 years ago..). You’re a huge influence not only to me, but many other people. I too am a catcher, I play competitive softball at the 14U A-Ball level and look up to you very much. I’m dedicating my whole season to you! I hope you feel better and I’m preparing to watch you again when you return!

    Much Love,
    Brooke (:

    P.S.
    I actually just finished up a tournament in Modesto this past weekend! Wishing you the best!
