We remember Cecil Cooper, who was born in Texas on this day in 1949.
"Coop" broke with the Red Sox in 1971 and was traded to Milwaukee in 1976. He had his biggest seasons with the Brewers, including a huge hit in the 1982 ALCS against the Angels.
Overall, he hit .298 with 241 HR, 1,124 RBI and 2,192 hits in 1,896 games. As a Brewer, "Coop" hit .303 in 11 seasons and won Gold Gloves in 1979 & 1980.
Great player.
