#540 Felix Millan
One of NL’s best
in his position at the time….choked up so far on the bat it was a miracle he
hit any home runs…hit 22 home runs in 5700+ AB....benefit was excellent bat
control and taking the #1 spot on
strikeout to AB ratio...Resume: Atlanta
Braves 1966-1972; New York Mets
1973-1977....Was a starter starting 1968-1976....consistent hitter with a BA
ranging from .257 to .310 those years...also racked up being named to 3
consecutive all star games 1969 to 1971 laced with two Gold Gloves 1969 to 1972...hit
very well in two NLCS playoffs not so well in his only in his World Series
appearance....like his successor in Atlanta Dave Johnson, played a couple of
years in Japan after his MLB days were over.

He needs two helmets? Never liked him because he went to the Mets and pushed my all-time favorite player (Ken Boswell) out of the starting 2nd base job.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you wish he tripped over that other helmet.
DeleteNice Helmet, Felix the Cat.
