Willie McCovey Hand Signed Autographed Baseball
Willie McCovey Hand Signed Autographed Baseball Willie McCovey (1938–2018), affectionately known as “Stretch,†was one of the most feared power hitters in Major League Baseball history and a legendary figure with the San Francisco Giants. The imposing left-handed first baseman played 22 Major League seasons, spending the vast majority of his career with the Giants.McCovey made an immediate impact, winning the 1959 National League Rookie of the Year Award despite playing only 52 games. A six-time All-Star, he enjoyed his finest season in 1969, when he hit 45 home runs with 126 RBIs and captured the National League MVP Award. His tremendous power made him especially dangerous against right-handed pitching and one of the most intimidating hitters of his generation.McCovey finished his career with 521 home runs, 2,211 hits, and 1,555 RBIs. He helped the Giants capture the 1962 National League pennant and came agonizingly close to delivering a World Series championship when his hard-hit line drive with two runners aboard was caught for the final out of Game 7 against the New York Yankees.The Giants retired McCovey’s No. 44, and he was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1986 on his first ballot. The waters beyond right field at the Giants’ current ballpark became famously known as McCovey Cove, a lasting tribute to one of the greatest power hitters in franchise history.Excellent condition. Age related wear. Baseball in its included plastic case is 3 1/2" diameter.
