.- To most, he was the man called Stretch, a nickname acquired in 1955 during New York Giants spring training in Florida. In April 1957, shortly before the first basemans Texas League debut as a Dallas Eagle, sportswriter editor Bill Rives explained the moniker: The other players took one look at his elastic frame and tagged him Stretch. And so it was until Willie McCoveys death in October 2018.
