SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Hall of Famer Gaylord Perry saw his new bronze statue a few weeks ago and thinks sculptor Will Behrends crafted a great likeness. How does the statue depict Perry?
“Can’t tell you that,” Perry said with a smile as he manned an autograph table at Scottsdale Stadium on Sunday.
The pose is supposed to be a surprise until the statue’s Aug. 13 unveiling before a Giants game against the Orioles. His will be the fifth Behrends statue outside AT&T Park, joining those of Willie Mays, Willie McCovey, Juan Marichal and Orlando Cepeda.
