Player Biography
Although Willie McCovey played injured throughout much of his 22-year career, primarily with the San Francisco Giants, the first baseman nevertheless used a sweeping swing to belt 521 home runs and collect 2,211 hits. Hall of Fame manager Sparky Anderson once said, “If you pitch to him, he’ll ruin baseball. He’d hit 80 home runs. There’s no comparison between McCovey and anybody else in the league.” McCovey led the National League in homers three times and RBI twice. A six-time All-Star selection, McCovey earned N.L. Most Valuable Player honors in 1969, 10 years after winning the N.L. Rookie of the Year Award.
