SAN FRANCISCO — The San Francisco Giants honor their past as well as any franchise in sports.
On Saturday morning outside Oracle Park, the Giants thanked Peter Magowan for showing them how to celebrate history.
Magowan, the Giants’ longtime managing general partner who died on January 27, 2019, became the first non-player to have a plaque unveiled on the Giants’ Wall of Fame.
“Can there be a more fitting tribute to Peter?” CEO Larry Baer asked.
A New York City native who followed the franchise closely when it played at the Polo Grounds, Magowan belonged to a group of Bay Area investors who purchased the Giants in 1993 and prevented the club from leaving the city.
