A statue of Baseball Hall of Fame player Willie McCovey was installed in McCovey Cove, San Francisco. It was unveiled in 2003 and was created by sculptor William Behrends.[1]

The statue was removed by San Francisco Giants and put into storage in July 2020 to keep it safe from any possible damage from construction work going on nearby.[2] It was put back on display at a new location just before the 2024 season.[3]
