RIP Frank Howard, one of my boyhood baseball heroes. The big Buckeye slugger was a true gentlemen, got to talk to him a bit when he coached in NY. Frank was also quite a hooper at Ohio State. I believe he still holds single-game NIT record with 28 rebounds.
Frank Howard hit 172 homers in four years, from 1967-1970. That means two of those years were raised-mound years!
