Good-bye, a home run for the game and for the pennant! The Giants have won the pennant!...Travis Ishikawa with the Bobby Thomson moment." [83]

Ishikawa's home run was the first ever to end an NLCS and the fourth to end any LCS, after Chris Chambliss (1976 ALCS), Aaron Boone (2003 ALCS), and Magglio Ordóñez (2006 ALCS). [84] Ishikawa earned his second World Series ring when the Giants defeated the Kansas City Royals four games to three. [85]

2015

On December 4, 2014, Ishikawa and the Giants agreed to a one-year, $1.1 million contract for 2015. [86] He started the 2015 season on the disabled list due to a back injury suffered near the end of spring training. [87] At the conclusion of his rehab assignment, he was designated for assignment by the Giants and removed from the 40-man roster. [88] Ishikawa subsequently cleared waivers and was sent to the Sacramento River Cats. [89] On June 24, 2015, Ishikawa was called back up to the Giants to take the place of the injured Nori Aoki. [90] He was designated for assignment again on July 3.

Second stint with the Pirates (2015)

Ishikawa was claimed off waivers by the Pirates on July 5, 2015. [91] In 38 games with the Pirates, Ishikawa hit .224 with one home run and 8 RBI. [92]

2016

In January 2016, Ishikawa was reportedly close to signing a minor-league contract with the Seattle Mariners, but the deal fell through. [93] [94] He signed a minor-league contract with the Chicago White Sox on February 9. [95] He opened the 2016 season with the Triple-A Charlotte Knights. [96] He was released on May 24, 2016. [97] On June 8, Ishikawa signed a minor league deal to return to the San Francisco Giants organization, but was granted free agency in November.

Post-playing career

On March 16, 2018, Ishikawa rejoined the Giants organization as a hitting coach for the Arizona League Giants "Orange" team, one of their two Arizona League teams. [98] Travis is currently a coach for the low-A West affiliate of the Giants, the San Jose Giants, in San Jose, CA.

Personal life

Ishikawa's mother is European American. His father, Alan, is the controller for a chain of Washington supermarkets and a third generation Japanese American. [99] His paternal grandparents were held in an internment camp in Colorado during World War II. [99]

Ishikawa met his wife, Rochelle, a dental assistant, after being hit by a pitch in the face in his first game with San Jose. [68] [100] They married in 2007 [101] and have three children, [102] including a daughter who was born on Ishikawa's 25th birthday in 2008. [103] Ishikawa became a Christian in 2007, which he believes helped him out of his slump that year. He says, "Faith will always be the biggest part of anything that happens." [21]
