Willie McCovey


On this date in 1980, Willie McCovey hits his 521th and final career home run against Scott Sanderson of the Expos in a 3-2 Giants win. His shot ties him with Ted Williams on the all-time list.

"McCovey doesn't hit any cheap ones. He does it with such authority, it seems like an act of God." - Walter Alston
