Show your love for the San Francisco Giants with this officially licensed, 7" McFarlane Toys action figure of baseball legend Willie McCovey. In his Major League debut on July 30, 1959, McCovey went four-for-four against Hall-of-Famer Robin Roberts of the Philadelphia Phillies with two singles and two triples. McCovey found major league pitchers simpler to hit than minor leaguers that year because the major leaguers had better control of their pitches he said. In 52 major league games in 1959, he had a .354 batting average and 13 home runs. He was named the National League's (NL) Rookie of the Year. He won the NL Player of the Month Award in August, his first full month in the majors (.373, 8 HR, 22 RBI). He had a 22-game hitting streak, setting the mark for San Francisco Giants rookies, four short of the all-time team record. This Series 8 figure features McCovey in his 1979 jersey, ready to take on any opponent on the field. Perfect for fans of Major League Baseball, this figure is a great addition to any sports memorabilia collection. Don't miss out on the chance to own a piece of baseball history!
