Don’t Knock The Rock
Arriving in Detroit through a straight-up trade for batting champ Harvey Kuenn in 1960, Rocky Colavito caused young boys to cheer and women to swoon.
With a rocket arm, a powerful bat, and Hollywood good looks, he was one for the ages in Detroit. Take a look at his 1963 Topps (#330) card — royalty in an Old-English D.
Who remembers the behind-the-back bat stretch he’d do while on deck?
