1. So long, partner.

2. hell yeah

3. See you, space panda.

4. Adieu, Panda.

5. It’s like the fates are telling him it’s over. 

6. Absolutely wild how he went from homegrown hero to villain who burned a bunch of bridges on his way out of town then back to beloved player in a span of less than a decade. Gonna miss the Panda.

7. Kung Fu Panda still playing? Wow

8. Fouling off high cheese, and then singling on a shattered bat bloop is about as Pablo as it could get for his final AB. Gonna miss you Panda.

9. Leyenda

10. Can keep the ball and multiple pieces of the bat for a souvenir. Hope it’s not Panda’s last

11. Just got back from the game, so much fun to see the Panda one last time. Going to miss him.

12. Hope he gets a call up at some point, but if not, he certainly went out on top.

13. How has no one said it yet? How can you not be romantic about baseball?

14. Everybody loves Kung Fu Panda

15. Good riddance

16. Likely his last but also *maybe* he gets a chance later in the season. He’s said he will play in Sacramento if he’s given the chance. Dude is living the “love of the game” mentality.

17. 2nd basement let him have his moment

18. He was so fun when he was good on those championship teams.

    Dude would swing at anything and somehow hit it. This AB ended with a home run on a 1-2 count: https://i.imgur.com/pSXAm4D.gif

19. The guy is totally redeemed and I love it

20. The confused kid behind me asking their parents “Who is he???” when everyone got up for Pablo’s last at bat made it really feel like the end of an era…

21. Honestly didn’t know he was still in the league.

22. last AB in a giants uniform? we officially converting him into a reliever? i mean he does have better pitching numbers than anybody on the team

23. Who’s chopping onions?!

24. Wow I’m old
