Some of my first memories are of watching him when he was with the Padres from 1974-1976. He, Dave Winfield and Randy Jones, are my three favorite Padres of all-time. I still remember getting his autograph as he came off an elevator from the clubhouse at SD Stadium back in 1974, and I still have the ball he signed.
Rest in Peace Willie. Steve

Rip #44
He had such a distinctive, sweeping, powerful left handed swing. He was a thrill to watch....he and Willie Mays, quite the duo!! Glad his impressive bronze statue and McCovey Cove at AT&T Park will cement his legacy for years to come. RIP Willie.
“When he belts a home run,” longtime Dodgers manager Walter Alston said, “he does it with such authority, it seems like an act of God. You can’t cry about it.”
