Statuesque: Plenty of Bay Area legends left to honor

On August 13, Gaylord Perry became the fifth San Francisco Giant Hall of Famer to be honored with a statue outside AT&T joining Willie Mays, Willie McCovey, Juan Marichal and Orlando Cepeda.

A few years ago, during the heyday of Jim Harbaugh, KNBR's Gary Radnich -- the sports-talk mashup of Jon Stewart, Jerry Seinfeld and Don Cornelius -- took up the sport statue debate on his show with a position that there should be a “Three-Statue Limit” for any team's building. For the Niners, he proposed Joe Montana, Bill Walsh and Eddie DeBartolo. What ensued was the perfect mix of sports-talk logic and lunacy.
