McCovey was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1986. In 1999, he was on The Sporting News' list of the 100 Greatest Baseball Players, and was nominated as a finalist for the Major League Baseball All-Century Team. Since 1980, the Giants have awarded the Willie Mac Award to honor his spirit and leadership. The inlet of San Francisco Bay beyond the right field fence of AT&T Park, historically known as China Basin, has been redubbed McCovey Cove in his honor. Across McCovey Cove from the park a statue of McCovey was erected and the land on which it stands named McCovey Point. The Giants retired his uniform number 44, which he wore in honor of Hank Aaron, a fellow Mobile, Alabama native.

Stretch is the third greatest Giant of all time.

They're renaming things after MoCovey due to his greatness, Bonds isn't getting anything named after him.....

Barry Bonds

Mays doesn't have as much named after him, so, naturally...
