Godspeed to Willie McCovey, who passed away yesterday. For those of us old enough to remember him in his prime, he was beyond feared at the plate. Will always remember the shifts that teams would employ against him in the late 60's and early 70's. I fondly recall going to Shea with my Dad to see the Mets play the Giants. We always got there early to watch him take BP. I can remember one such time when he hit 5 straight pitches off the old scoreboard in right-center field, about halfway up! He was truly special.
