A bronze statue of San Francisco Giants pitcher Juan Marichal was unveiled outside the main entrance of Oracle Park, in San Francisco, California on May 22, 2005. The Dominican-born Marichal is considered to be one of the greatest pitchers in the history of baseball, and was the winningest pitcher of the 1960s.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Haft |first1=Chris |title=On this date, 2005: Giants get a kick out of Juan Marichal statue |url=https://www.mercurynews.com/2020/05/21/on-this-date-2005-giants-get-a-kick-out-of-juan-marichal-statue/ |work=The Mercury News |date=May 21, 2020}}</ref>
