Mickey's Introduction in Game 5 of the 1976 ALCS
Well known author and statistician Bill James has selected Mickey as the 59th greatest Centerfielder of all-time and this is what Bill shared with me about Mickey Rivers;
"I have never met Mickey Rivers, but I will never forget him. Mickey was in no respect average. In some ways he was far better than average; in some ways he was far worse than average; in some ways he was lovable; in some ways he was annoying. But he was always something. He didn't throw normal. He didn't run normal, unless you consider mercury normal. He didn't swing normal. He didn't talk normal. He didn't think normal. He was fast, quick, unique, quotable, fun to watch. As Shakespeare said, "What a piece of work is Mickey."
