“On behalf of the City of San Francisco, I want to send my thoughts and sympathies to the family and friends of Peter Magowan. San Francisco owes Peter a debt of gratitude for his leadership in keeping our beloved Giants right here in the City where they belong. Just as importantly, Peter led the effort to bring a beautiful ballpark to our waterfront, which has become one of our City’s civic treasures. Without his efforts, we would not have experienced the joy of three World Series championships and of countless days out at the ballpark. In his honor, we have lit up City Hall in Giants orange tonight. Peter gave our City so much and I know all Giants fans join me tonight in remembering and honoring him.”
