Well one anecdote is nice and all. Yaz had a better career than McCovey. Not by a lot - Yaz was more of a compiler. McCovey might have been a more fearsome hitter but Yaz was a better all around player. Plus he had ‘67. Their rookie cards and other cards from the 60s are priced accordingly. Over the years McCovey has actually closed the gap. Years ago his RC was worth a pittance compared to Yaz’s.
Anyway both great players and deserving first ballot HOFers.
