SAN FRANCISCO — Even though this is just a four-game homestand for the San Francisco Giants, there is a special day for three former members of the Giants family on this homestand.

Former starting pitchers Matt Cain, Ryan Vogelsong and closer Brian Wilson will have their plaques unveiled on The Giants’ Wall of Fame on Saturday afternoon, prior to the Giants game versus the Milwaukee Brewers.

The trio will bring the number of former Giants on The Wall up to 52, and they are the largest group to be recognized since the inaugural class of 2008, when 43 of the 49 were recognized.

The Wall of Fame recognizes retired Giants players, who played for the organization for a minimum of at least nine seasons, or five seasons with at least All-Star selection as a Giants player since their move to California in 1958.

Here is a list of the players and managers on the Wall, and when they played and/or managed for the Giants.
