He stole 43 bases one year and only got caught 4 times. Nobody thinks of him that way, but that’s pretty impressive!
Wow, just hearing about this. Great player and seems great off the field too. I recall Milo mentioning him a lot whether it be an accomplishment, stat, promo, or whatever. Proud he played for Houston.
So, when I was still a fairly young boy back in the early 70’s. My dad would take my brother and me to a few Astros games every year. I can remember very well looking way up into the upper deck and seeing those seats where the Toy Cannon and the Red Rooster hit those homers. Just a few seats apart. It just seemed impossible that anyone could hit a ball all the way up there.
