New Pickup - Willie McCovey in Dominican Republic

Wondo

Original Dominican newspaper photo with captions on back. This was December 3, 1958 McCovey being congratulated by his manager (Salty Parker) while rounding third after a HR. He debuted in the Majors the next year!

Nice pic Wondo

I remember when he came up to the majors - it got a full page on the back of the Daily Mirror - he went 4 for 4!
