The original bricks were destroyed when construction began in 2020 but the Giants say they preserved the messages and are exploring ‘multiple options’ other than the digital kiosk.

After a nearly four-year hiatus, the statue of Giants Hall of Famer Willie McCovey has returned to the public eye on the shores of San Francisco Bay as crews finish work on China Basin Park, Wednesday, March 20, 2024.

Set to open in time for the Giants’ home opener Friday, the new China Basin Park connected to the Mission Rock development will feature a reinstalled McCovey statue but not the bricks that accompanied it until construction began in 2020. The original bricks were destroyed, Daum said, but their messages were preserved.
