I love those heroes of the game that spent their entire career with one team and no one is more symbolic of life time New York Giant excellence than Mel Ott. One of those guys that lets the numbers do the talking; .304 Career, 511 Home runs, 2,876 hits, 12X All Star, he used that leg lifting swing to get maximum power out of his small frame. Six times he lead the league in homers and six times he led in walks. His power totals are even more remarkable when you realize the legendary tough to hit home run parks he played his national league career in. He played his home games in the Polo Grounds for crying out loud!
