Reggie Knows Sports: Peter Magowan's legacy goes beyond the baseball field

SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- Former San Francisco Giants owner Peter Magowan is being remembered as a legend in the Bay Area. He died Sunday after a battle with cancer.

Magowan's legacy includes helping keep the Giants in San Francisco, building a privately-funded ballpark at China Basin, and signing Barry Bonds-- but he's done even more than that.

Magowan formed Junior Giants, a free baseball league serving more than 25,000 kids in 90 leagues. All the equipment is donated so the kids can focus on the game of baseball.

Magowan also created "Until There's A Cure" Day. His team was the first to dedicate an annual game to fight against HIV/AIDS back in 1994. It's been 25 years and the team and its partners have raised more than $2 million.

Reggie breaks the usual quirky format of "I Know Sports" to deliver an honest message about a person who constantly pushed boundaries.
