McCovey Cove
Willie Mays Field and some of the warehouses it replaced.
The mouth of Mission Creek, now "McCovey Cove," before the ballpark was built.
The ballpark displaced a number of old waterfront warehouses, as well as tugboat docking. The mouth of Mission Creek was christened "McCovey Cove" after the legendary Giants first baseman, and to market the home runs expected to "splash down" in it.
