McCovey
When i was in sixth grade, living on the east coast, i was a huge Giants fan. When the Mets played the Giants at Candlestick, my mom would let me listen to the whole game on the radio when i reported the score in the morning, in the sixth grade class, my teacher would give me extra credit, that was probably 1968.

As someone who loves the numbers connected with baseball, among my favorite is McCovey and Aaron tying for the home run title in 1963 with 44 each, and they both wore #44. You can't make that stuff up.

Nice Topps run but it continued through 1980, plus an 81 Fleer, no?

As a kid I was at the 69 All Star game when he went deep twice. Of course the big thrill for us was Frank Howard hit one.
