A 9-ft. bronze statue of Orlando Manuel Cepeda (1937-2024)
stands at the Second Street entrance to Oracle Park in San Francisco, California. "Cha Cha", as he was known, made his professional baseball debut in 1958 during the Giants first season in San Francisco. He was a lifetime .297 hitter with 379 home runs and 1,364 RBI during his 17-year playing career. He went on to win 1958 Rookie of the Year honors, the 1966 Comeback Player of the Year award, the 1967 NL Most Valuable Player trophy and 1973 Designated Hitter of the Year. Cepeda was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1999 and is one of only 10 players in the Giants' 125-year history to have their jersey number retired.
This statue was designed by nationally recognized sculptor William Behrends (1946- ) and stands 9 feet tall on a 5 foot base. The sculpture, created in Behrend's North Carolina studio and cast in bronze in Colorado, portrays a youthful, smiling Cepeda. Behrends created three other sculptures of Giants legends Willie Mays, Willie McCovey, and Juan Marichal that all stand around the perimeter of Oracle Park.

Fans outside the right field wall at Oracle Park for the 2020 San Francisco Giants home opener. The stadium was closed to fans due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Shari and I attended our first San Francisco Giants baseball game last night. We've been in AT&T ball park before, but, never for a game. The Giants played the Miami Marlins. Barry Bonds is the hitting coach for the Marlins and received a huge standing ovation several times during the game. It was great to see him get recognition from his former fans despite any past controversies. The dude was a hell of a hitter!

Kayak-tivists were one group of many climate justice activists along the race route of the JP Morgan (Chase) Corporate Challenge, a 3.5 mile footrace along the San Francisco Bay.
"JPMorgan Chase is the world’s largest funder of fossil fuels. Since the Paris Agreement was adopted in 2015, Chase has provided more than $382 billion to the fossil fuel companies that are driving the climate crisis. We’re here to demand that they stop financing the fossil fuel industry and stop undermining the Paris Agreement."
