Giants Send 1959 Hero McCovey Back To Minors
Willie Stretch McCovey, 22, once NL rookie of the year for the Giants, is optioned to the Tacoma Giants in the Pacific Coast League after slumping at bat and in the field. Manager Tom Sheehan says the move follows a season of disappointment as McCovey, from Mobile Alabama, struggles to drive in runs. Last year he hit 13 home runs after a July recall but is batting around .244 with 11 homers this season. He hopes a minor league assignment will renew his form.
