Willie Lee McCovey (January 10, 1938 - October 31, 2018) started his career off with a bang going 4-for-4 in his Major League debut against Hall of Fame pitcher Robin Roberts en route to a .354 rookie year batting average and the National League Rookie of the Year Award. Willie played the majority of his career in cavernous Candlestick Park with the San Francisco Giants (1959-1973, 1977-1980) where he hit 264 of his 521 home runs. He and fellow Hall of Famer Willie Mays made up one of the most lethal offensive one-two punches the NL had during the 1950s and ‘60s, blasting 1,181 home runs, collectively, in their illustrious careers. In 1969, McCovey led the NL in home runs, RBI and slugging percentage, missing out on the Triple Crown by .018 points, but capturing the league’s Most Valuable Player award. The six-time All-Star selection retired after posting a career .270 batting average with 2,211 hits, 1,229 runs scored, 521 home runs and 1,555 RBI. An inlet of San Francisco Bay, directly over the right field wall at the Giants home, AT&T Ballpark, has been named McCovey Cove after the feared home run slugger. Willie Lee McCovey was elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1986.
