Chart
No inductees for 2032 (which parallels 1960). The chart shows how much above the rest of the Hall McCovey is in the combined totaling of the Hall metrics (the Gorilla Composite).
Further McCovey Notes:
16 times in league history (12 different players) have 70 or more HRs been hit in a season. McCovey did it 3 times. No player has done it more often. (Dutch Zwilling is the only other player currently enshrined who has had a 70 HR season).
In addition to having the single season HR record of 89, McCovey hit 83 in 2012, which is a tie for second place.
McCovey had 199 RBI in 2012. That is second most, trailing only McCovey's record 204 in 2009.
McCovey's plot on the chart is easy to spot.
