Biography:
A feared left-handed slugger, Eddie Mathews became the seventh player in major league history to hit 500 home runs, finishing his career with 512. He walloped more than 30 roundtrippers nine years in a row. In 1953, his 47 homers for the Milwaukee Braves led the National League and established a single-season record for third basemen (since broken by Mike Schmidt). In an intriguing footnote to his career, Mathews was the first athlete featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated.
