Torres made it easy to keep loving him. He was open about his attention deficit disorder, agreeing to be the focus of a documentary on the subject. He contributed to the Giants “It Gets Better” video. He won the Willie Mac award. It seemed like everywhere you looked, there was a photo of Andres Torres, dressed like he’s headed to the disco, posing with a smiling fan or slightly bashful kid. I’m sure he made them all feel special.
We plan to keep cheering for Torres. The Mets visit the Giants on July 30. It’s marked on the calendar and I’ll be there with my family. I’ve been telling my boys for years that they can’t go to games with me if they root for the other team. But for Andres Torres, we’ll all make an exception. He may have been a Giants for a short time, but he made his impact through the sheer will of his positive attitude and genuine love for the fans.
As far as we’re concerned, Torres is a Giant forever.

So sad… December is Torres’ month on the Opening Day calender. Makes me extra sad. But definitely forever a Giant!

About
I love the San Francisco Giants, and sometimes they actually love me back (like when they finally won the WORLD SERIES!) I cope with our often stormy relationship the best way I can ... with snark.
Ask me anything
