SAN FRANCISCO – Brian Sabean’s right hand sported one of his three championship rings from his tenure as the San Francisco Giants’ general manager. On Monday night, he marveled at the lineup in front of him.
Sabean and Monday’s other inductees professed gratitude for the Bay Area serving as a hospitable host en route to their awe-inspiring careers. “You don’t sleep. It’s not fun,” Sabean said. “You have to be good at crisis management. Every day you’re dealing with something that is unexpected, or is pulling you left when you need to go straight. You have to get really adept at that.As he prepared to enter a hotel ballroom for Monday night’s induction, he praised the “amazing company” he was joining.
“It’s going to be a big draft for our club,” Marleau said. “Last year’s draft was good, as well. It’s going to be a fun time to bring these young guys in, get them up to speed with the NHL game and help develop them and build this team around these young guys, and hopefully bring the championship to San Jose.”
“I was kind of a late bloomer, so just to be mentioned with some of these names, it’s crazy to me,” Wondolowski added. “The heroes I had growing up are in here, as well. It’s pretty amazing and I truly find it special.”Taylor may be known best for his Super Bowl-winning, last-minute touchdown catch for the 1988 49ers, but he won the Super Bowl three times and made the Pro Bowl twice.
