One of Baseball Hardest Hitters, A Good Baseball Player, I had his card's in the 80's
And watched him crowd that plate.

• All-Star (1979)
• World Series champion (1987)
• AL MVP (1979)
• 3× Silver Slugger Award (1983, 1985, 1986)
• Roberto Clemente Award (1985)
• AL RBI leader (1979)
• NL Manager of the Year (1995)
• Angels Hall of Fame

Baylor retired with 285 stolen bases, 2,135 hits, and 338 home runs. He is the only player in MLB history with 300+ HRs, 250+ SBs, an RBI title, an MVP award, three (or more) World Series appearances, at least one World Championship and a World Series HR.

I used to love when he was with the Yankees. I would imitate his batting stance playin stick ball

Damn, rip. Another baseball related death? Losing all the greats from our childhood.

His last baseball moment was having his leg crumple to pieces while catching a ceremonial first pitch from Vladimir Guerrero

fukk. I remember him most for coaching the Cubs back in the day. RIP

I remember him as a Yankee in that stiff, upright stance....always getting hit by a pitch because he gave no fukks crouching the plate.

I remember him as the Braves hitting coach that one year and Cubs manager.
