SAN FRANCISCO–Aside from the letters that ran across the front of their jerseys and the rings that now decorate their fingers, the three former Giants who will be honored outside AT&T Park Saturday don’t share many similarities.
Matt Cain, Ryan Vogelsong and Brian Wilson were all right-handed pitchers, All-Stars and key members of pitching staffs that led the Giants to world championships, but they took distinctly different paths to their new place on the Giants’ Wall of Fame.
Cain was a first round draft choice, a player whose first taste of big league action came before his first legal sip of alcohol.
