"Returning to the city of his greatest heroics, colorful Ron Swoboda came to the Yankees on June 25 in a trade with Montreal. Best known for a powerful bat that made him the all-time New York Met home run and RBI king through 1970, Rocky's singular outstanding achievement was his catch in the fourth game of the 1969 World Series, rated as one of the greatest in Series history. There are no neutral fans where Ron Swoboda is concerned, and the Yankees are happy to have his bat in the lineup."
