Pablo Sandoval Thanks Giants Fans

The ink isn’t even dry on Pablo Sandoval’s reported five-year, $100 million deal with the Boston Red Sox, yet the third baseman already has San Francisco in his rearview mirror.

Monday, the 28-year-old hit Instagram and thanked the Giants fans that helped make the “Kung Fu Panda” bigger than life.

Pretty cool.

To the greatest fans in San Francisco! Leaving the #SFGiants & this city I love is the most difficult decision I have ever made. I have grown up w/you, laughed & cried w/you & you have blessed me w your support, friendship & love. It has been an unforgettable @SFGiants career, a great run & 3 World Series championships in 5 yrs w/great teammates, coaches, front office & fans. I will always remember you w love & my heart will always be in #SF.
