According to the San Francisco Chronicle, Perry's statue will be located at Second and King streets, across from Cepeda's statue at the Second Street entrance.

Giants management released no details about Perry's statue, though it will be crafted by Will Behrends, the creator of the other four likenesses. Perry said he visited Behrends on Monday at the artist's North Carolina studio.

Perry said the Giants hinted in recent years about his being immortalized thusly. The inevitability didn't diminish his gratitude when he received the news last week.

"It's like having pie and ice cream, too," said Perry, who compiled a 314-265 record from 1962-83 before being enshrined at Cooperstown in 1991.
