SAN FRANCISCO — Popular pitcher Ryan Vogelsong, who played on two World Series winning teams and was an All-Star in 2011, will retire as a member of the Giants in a ceremony Sunday at AT&T Park.

Vogelsong, winner of the club’s coveted Willie Mac Award in 2011, will be honored before the Giants’ 1:05 p.m. game against the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Even as the No. 5 starter, Vogelsong was an emotional leader when he returned to the franchise in 2011, catcher Buster Posey said.

“He held the rest of the starting staff accountable. Just the way he went about doing things,” Posey said.
