I saw it just a few minutes ago, actually, on the pre-war board. 
By the way, very nice Cooper rookie. Yes, he was an incredible hitter, and he still has the biggest hit in franchise history.
I've said it a few times. If he'd been able to play full time just a little earlier in his career, he could have received some very serious Hall of Fame consideration. But he was 27 years old before he ever got 450 at bats in a season. Too bad, because between 1976 and 1985, he averaged 199 hits, 66 extra base hits and 104 RBI per 162 games played. He's one of the best hitters from that era to never win a batting title.
Coop was just smooth. Great fielder, great hitter, great run producer. Look at his career peak numbers. 7 spectacular years.
