    Mantle hit some moon shots, but the one player whose Moon Shot I got to see in attendance was hit by McCovey, and NASA is still tracking that baseball, ..........it had a trail of flames when it left the stratosphere...

    Just to think those people who drank cyanide Kool Aid during Hale-Bopp Comet, killed themselves in vain, that was McCovey's HR ball....not the heaven train comet they thought....

    And no one ever had an unkind word about the gentle Giant Stretch McCovey.
