The Hall of Famer was a truly dominant power hitter. He led the NL (maybe majors) in HRs for about six years. When almost nobody ever 50 HR, he did it twice.
After his career was over, he became the voice of the Mets for decades. He was a real life Yogi Berra. I can only remember a few:
RE: Phils' CF Garry Maddox- "2/3 of the Earth is covered by water. The other third is covered by Garry Maddox."
"Bruce Sutter is going to be out of action for the rest of his career."
"Solo home runs usually come with no one on base."
I'm sure Mets' will have their own.
RIP
