Jeremy Affeldt, Santiago Casilla, Javier Lopez and Sergio Romo had their Wall of Fame plaques unveiled in a pregame ceremony.
Fom right to left, former San Francisco Giants pitchers Sergio Romo, Javier Lopez, Santiago Casilla and Jeremy Affeldt are inducted into the team’s Wall of Fame before a baseball game between the Giants and the Minnesota Twins, Saturday, July 13, 2024, in San Francisco. SAN FRANCISCO — Often the anonymous infantrymen of baseball’s pitching staffs, relievers finally got some recognition Saturday at Oracle Park.
With a cast of characters from the Giants’ World Series-winning clubs sitting behind them on the infield, Ryan Vogelsong and Buster Posey delivered remarks before CEO Larry Baer directed attention to the video board, where the 57th, 58th, 59th and 60th plaques on King Street were unrobed. Romo’s 515 games with the Giants are the third-most of any pitcher since the team moved to San Francisco; López ranks sixth with 446; Casilla and Affeldt aren’t far behind, with 414 apiece. But it is their 98 combined postseason appearances from 2010 to 2014 that secured their place in team history.
Casilla was the ultimate culprit, though, providing Posey some of the biggest laughs of the afternoon. Many of the Giants relievers watched the ceremony from the dugout, including Tyler Rogers, who draped his arms over the dugout rail.
