HUGE shout out to CalChiefsFan!!!!!
As I said, my Bay Area connection was unable to pick this stuff up. I figured, “Oh well, I hope it finds a good home.” When I told CCF, he told me he’d just ship it all to me on his dime. Yesterday, a 40 lb. (at least) box arrived on my doorstep. Man, what a treasure trove! 30 years of McCovey related newspapers, Sporting News, etc. 1959-1990. Papers from SF, Pittsburgh, Mobile (Willie’s hometown), NY, Cincy, Japan and more. As a surprise, CCF and the 84 year old curator of this stuff threw in a pair of McCovey’s cleats and a repro HOF plaque. I was blown away! I spent hours yesterday, getting it in chronological order and putting complete papers put back together. I’ll be reading all weekend. Thanks again to CCF and Willie’s buddy of 60 years! Good people still exist!
