Today’s #baseballcard of the day is a 1960 #Topps Willie McCovey #allstar card. Spending most of his career with the #SanFranciscoGiants Big #Stretch slugged 521 #homeruns and 1,555 #rbis. He holds the #record for the most #homers hit in Candlestick Park. He provided a potent back-to-back punch with his co-#halloffame member Willie Mays. I saw Mays & McCovey play in the first #baseball game I ever saw in person. Stretch passed away in 1980. #mlb #SportsHistory #sanfrancisco #giants
