The archive lists him at 200 centimeters, which is six feet seven and was close to unheard of for a ballplayer of his time. Sixteen seasons gave him 1,774 hits, 382 home runs, 1,119 runs batted in and a .273 average. He was the National League's Rookie of the Year in 1960 for Los Angeles and won a World Series there in 1963.

Washington took him in 1965 and he became most of what the club had. He led the American League in home runs in 1968 and 1970, with 44 the second time, and in 1970 he also led in runs batted in with 126 and in walks with 132. In his seven seasons there the Senators finished eighth, eighth, sixth, tenth, fourth, sixth and fifth.

The franchise moved to Texas in 1972 and he went with it, then finished the year in Detroit and retired. The writers put him on one ballot, in 1979, and gave him six votes out of 432. He managed San Diego in 1981 and the Mets in 1983, and coached for decades. He died in 2023, at eighty-seven.
