RIP Orlando Cepeda

[jvett77]

Hall of Famer Orlando Cepeda had died, the Giants announced Friday. He was 86 years old. His loss comes only 10 days after the death of Willie Mays, with whom he starred on the Giants for nine seasons. He was one of the Philly killers in the 60s along with Mays and McCovey. In 1966 San Francisco traded him to the St. Louis Cardinals, helping them win the 1967 World Series and was selected MVP beating out Stan Musial and Bob Gibson.
