Joe Adcock?

Re: Countdown to MLB 09 The Show

Joe Adcock?

While an awesome hitter in his own right(not many people realize that Adcock hit nearly 400 homers!)....he was a 1B.
The guy in the pic played 3B around the same time.

Here are some hints.
He was an 8 time All-Star.
He hit .271 lifetime with 512 homers.
His best season for average....306
His best season for homeruns.....47
Here is a cool little tidbit.
He started with the BOSTON Braves...played mainly for the MILWAUKEE Braves and was also there for the ATLANTA Braves.

This was a tough one. Danny Murtaugh's #40 was retired in 1977...
