Everyone that saw him, particularly the, the old salts, you know, Leo Durocher, for example, said, "I haven't seen a kid this talented since Willie Mays," which was kind of his curse because, uh, no matter how well he played, and he had some amazing seasons in the '70s for the Astros, um, it was always this sort of cloud over him that said, "Well, okay, great, but he's no Willie Mays yet.
