Death of Baseball's Willie McCovey in 2018-- Part 2

In his MLB debut, Willie McCovey only went 4-for-4 with two triples, two RBIs and three runs scored in a 7-2 win against the Phillies (who were no doubt saying, "Who was that guy?").  This started a stretch where the Giants won ten of twelve games.

McCovey batted .354 with 13 homers, 38 RBIs, five triples and nine doubles on his way to winning NL Rookie of the Year.

Said Hall of Famer Hank Aaron:  "You knew right away he wasn't an ordinary ballplayer.  he was so strong, and he had the gift of knowing the strike zone.  There's no telling how many home runs he would have hit if those knees weren't bothering him all the time and if he had played in a park other than Candlestick."

McCovey had attended games at the new AT&T Park as recently as the final game of the season.
