One of my favorite players has passed, Willie McCovey is gone at 8+ years old...I recall listening with my Dad to SF games when Willie was killing it at 1st base. I'm positive Gooch saw him play many times...

He was one of those guys that if you were pulling for the other team as I sometimes was with the Prates, that struck fear in you heart when he was at the plate. He had 45 intentional walks one year which was a huge total at that time though Barry Bonds blew that away years later. Mays, McCovey, Jim Ray Hart, Cepeda before he was traded- those Giants teams had serious power.
