The San Francisco Giants have announced their next set of Wall of Fame inductees, and it has a decided World Series feel.

On Aug. 8, the San Francisco Giants announced that they will induct five Giants with World Series title to the Wall of Fame — Brandon Belt, Brandon Crawford, Joe Panik, Buster Posey, and Pablo Sandoval.

The Wall of Fame includes bronze plaques on the outside of Oracle Park along King Street, which honor three types of players or team personnel — players that spent a minimum of nine seasons with the Giants; five seasons with at least one All-Star Game selection as a Giant; or won at least three World Series titles. The Giants began inducting non-players in 2019.

The quintet will give the Wall of Fame 65 inductees.
