The legend was cast in metal. So strong that — even after death — some part of him remained standing, caught in mid-swing. In San Francisco’s Mission Bay.

It was quiet Wednesday night, except for the blaring of ships’ fog horns. The Bay Bridge’s lights twinkled in the darkness. Famous in life, McCovey fell quietly into death. A long-running battle with health issues, his team said. He was 80 years old.
