This is the question I posed to Willie McCovey: You're the manager of the other team in a tie game with two outs and nobody on in the ninth. The batter is Willie McCovey, now... before I could finish, Willie broke in, "I'd walk him." Then he laughed. It's really no laughing matter to the San Francisco Giants' slugging first baseman, however. Because a lot of other managers would do the same thing." - Sportswriter Robert Markus in Baseball Digest (June 1971, 'Willie McCovey - Baseball's Most Feared Batter', Page 32)
