1979 SPECIAL- WILLIE STARGELL AND WILLIE McCOVEY

Been meaning to create a “special” 1979 card for this great image of Hall of Famer Willie Stargell and Willie McCovey towards the end of their brilliant careers, so here goes:


Two giants of the game just sitting in the dugout one afternoon, talking about what, I have no idea, but I sure wish I was there to just soak it all in!
McCovey, a former Rookie of the Year and MVP, with Stargell also an MVP, would both find their way to Cooperstown slugging just about 1000 home runs while striking fear into the hearts of many a Major League pitcher over the course of about 20 years.
Just two awesome players of their era who were sharing a friendly moment hanging out on a sunny afternoon. Wish they were both still with us to keep sharing their stories.
Rest in Peace “Pops” and “Stretch”.
