Willie McCovey - Willie McCovey's illustrious career in Major League Baseball is a tale of power and precision. Born in 1938 in Mobile, Alabama, he would go on to become one of the most feared sluggers in the game's history. McCovey was a towering presence both on and off the field, earning the nickname "Stretch" due to his incredible wingspan at first base.
His journey into the Major Leagues began in 1959 with the San Francisco Giants. It didn't take long for McCovey to make an impact, winning the National League Rookie of the Year award with his remarkable hitting prowess. His left-handed swing was a thing of beauty, generating awe-inspiring power.

McCovey's ability to send baseballs soaring into the bleachers became legendary. He was a six-time All-Star and claimed the National League Most Valuable Player award in 1969, a testament to his consistent excellence. During his career, he amassed 521 home runs, placing him among the all-time greats in this category.  However, McCovey's influence extended beyond the batter's box. He was a respected figure in the clubhouse, a leader who set an example with his work ethic and dedication to the game. He was a beloved teammate and a source of inspiration for many.

Daniel Jacob Horine is a highly acclaimed baseball artist known for his talent in capturing the essence of America's favorite pastime through the visual language of comic books.

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.
