Willie McCovey

[thesandman]

He was in a wheel chair tonight and the past few years he was using crutches. Does anyone know why. He was and still is one of the more popular Giants.

Don't you live out there? lol

[thesandman]

I do but every time he is shown, nothing is ever mentioned why he is using crutches. He never married and could have AIDS, but that's not something I or anyone wants to publically talk about.

Bad knees

[thesandman]

Inside. It's known his knees were bad, but if that's the case, I would think he would have had them replaced.

This is what I found in an article from 2006

"another crumbling icon with knees so bad that he needs a pair of walking canes to move through life."

Maybe he cant due to this:

In 1996, McCovey was sentenced to a fine and two years' probation for tax charges stemming from inadequate reporting of income earned from 1988 to 1990.

Bad knees

YOU WERE CORRECT

[thesandman]

Tinman. Thanks. I've always wondered. Didn't know his back was that bad and I certainly did not know about his tax problems, although that was 12 years ago.

Is there any other reason to believe he is gay(Aids allusion) other than he single?
I ask this in all sincerity.

[thesandman]

savage. Of course I have another reason.

Then you know something of which I was nor aware.
