People who were heroes in my youth are dying too young.
Even as a Dodger fan, I knew who McCovey was and of his legendary baseball prowess.
I’m about to lose my childhood idol, Bill Freehan.
As a diehard, NY Mets fan....I could not stand Willie McCovey....because every time he showed up at Shea Stadium he would blast the ball into the right field stands for another home run. May this great ballplayer and human being, Willie McCovey RIP for eternity in God’s paradise. We loved you Mr. McCovey!!! You were truly one of the greats in baseball!!!
