		Known as "The Baby Bull", Cepeda was a strong offensive force and a clubhouse leader.
		While he was hampered by injuries during several seasons (and suffered knee problems throughout his career), when healthy he could be counted on for 20 or more home runs, close to 100 RBI and an average around.300.
		On a personal note, Cepeda has long been a special player to me because he hit the first major league home run I ever witnessed in person, in July 1969 while playing for the Atlanta Braves.

		Cepeda might already be in the Hall if not for events of 1975.

		Their inability to win wasn't Cepeda's fault--after leaving the Giants he helped the Cardinals and Braves reach the postseason three straight years--but Cepeda's biggest mistakes happened away from the field.
		Beloved by his teammates, Cepeda had problems with his knees and his managers, which together led to five uniform changes in his final eight years in the major leagues.
		Cepeda has been covered in at least four other biographies--including three autobiographies--but Markusen's version is a no nonsense approach that tells a story well for a young audience that can benefit from the lessons Cepeda learned the hard way.

		Bursting onto the scene in 1958 (the Giants' debut out West after moving to San Francisco from New York), the fledgling outfielder posted impressive numbers --.312 average, 25 homers, 96 RBI, 188 hits, a league-leading 38 doubles -- and was the unanimous choice for Rookie of the Year.
		When the knee injury that would plague the rest of his career struck in 1965, Cepeda resurged to win Comeback Player of the Year honors in 1966, the same year the Giants traded him to the St. Louis Cardinals for pitcher Ray Sadecki.
		Admission into Cooperstown's ranks -- despite credentials the equal of Hall member George Kell and several others -- seemed a pipedream in 1993 after Cepeda missed induction by seven votes in his final chance to be elected by the writers.

	Baseball Orlando Cepeda HOF Cover
		After sadly missing HOF induction in 1993 by a mere 7 votes, Orlando Manuel Cepeda justifiably joined the late Roberto Clemente as the only other Puerto Rican in the MLB Hall of Fame on July 25, 1999.
		Undaunted by the fact that 18 of his peers with similar records (300 homers and a.295 career batting average) had already been chosed for induction, Orlando “Peruchin - The Baby Bull” Cepeda graciously accepted his place in the Hall of Fame along with fellow Inductees, Nolan Ryan, Robin Yount and George Brett.
		The authenticity of this standard size (3.625" x 6.5") Induction Day envelope is easily verified by the special postmark of the Baseball Hall of Fame, Induction Day Station, in Cooperstown, NY, dated July 25, 1999.
