2ND GREATEST PLAYER TO EVER PLAY THE GAME. Would have hit 820 Home Runs if he didn’t play in Candelstick.

Announcer on feed just said “gone too soon!”
Yeah I guess, but not a bad run.
Don’t know if he stayed active and relatively healthy.

Mackey Mantle was my boyhood hero. I just thought Willie played for the wrong team.

I remember seeing Willie hit a homer at Dodger stadium in the early 60s when he was with the Giants. I think it was my very first pro baseball game.

100s of games later I still remember it like it was yesterday.
