Somewhere in heaven, “Hondo” aka The Capital Punisher aka The Washington Monument, is looking down through his fogged up glasses, and smiling. His franchise is 1 game away.
Possibly the most feared hitter in the AL from 1968-1971 or thereabouts, with serious power and a talent for knocking in runs.
Ok so he only had 8 stolen bases and 35 triples. Speed wasn’t his thing. But with his 6 ft 7, 255 pound frame, he was truly a terrifying sight to behold at the plate, unless you were a Senators fan.
