great player who might have been better served sacrificing some contact for more power. But I loved him growing up as he was considered the best hitter in the game back when we thought batting avg was THE word in hitting. Now that we know better his stats pale a bit, but for his era he was the best.
One of the saddest stories losing him so young too. :-(
