84 yrs old today. My favorite basball player. Also, my vote for greatest of the last 60 years, maybe ever. Hit for power and average, led league in stolen bases, great centerfielder. How many homeruns would he have if not for playing in the "Cave of the winds" that was Candlestick Park?

Fan of the SF Giants of that era, mainly because of #24, though they also had McCovey and Davenport, who were Alabamas.
