SAN FRANCISCO -- Gaylord Perry became the latest member of San Francisco Giants royalty Saturday, after the organization unveiled a statue of the Hall of Fame pitcher at Second and King streets outside AT&T Park.
Perry joined a distinguished group of celebrated Giants, including Willie Mays, Willie McCovey, Juan Marichal and Orlando Cepeda, to receive a statue. All those players were in attendance, as well as several of Perry's friends, family members and former teammates.
The sculpture, created by William Behrends, who has sculpted all five of the statues outside the park, portrays Perry just at the point of his follow-through.
