cliff cook was supposed to be a power hitting third base mainstay for the fledgling Mets....he was a huge bust.

Got a look at his stats in the minors. 3 different seasons he hit 32 homers. Mets braintrust should have known something was wrong! 1963 yearbook said his back was only a mild problem. Once again, Mets get taken to the cleaners!

I grew up with Clifford (as we called him) in Oak Cliff a suburb of Dallas Texas. We played baseball on a field that we mowed so we could play ball. Our ball was an old one that we wrapped tape around. One of the kids that played with us was Carl Warwick who later played for the St Louis Cardnals Baseball Team. I knew that Cliff would become a fine basball player. I went to one of his minor league games against the Dallas Eagles when he played for the Indianaplois Indians AAA ball. He almost got the most valuable player award that year; he led the league in RBIs, Home Runs, and Batting Average. I enjoyed watching him in his career.

Thanks for letting me write about Cliff.

This is my wonderful dad! Even today at 47 years old I am so proud that Clifford Cook is my dad! He has and has always had a great deal of love for the game of baseball.

My dad was injured early in his career, and suffered with so much pain, yet he still tried to play each game to his very best. In those days the doctors, etc. did not have the technology they have these days to heal and to fix severe medical problems. He kept playing because he loved the game more than anything. No he doesn't like to speak of it too much, because he knows how much better he was, and could have been if it hadn't been for the pain he was suffering through back then.

Today my dad is doing fine. He was a loving, kind, caring dad growing up. I used to throw the baseball back and forth with him for hours (even though I am a girl, smile!) him and my sweet granddaddy (his dad) used to go to every local baseball game they could, and they would always let me tag along.

I have so many wonderful memories of Clifford Cook, my dad! (Thanks daddy! I love you more than anything!)

Any man who makes it to the big leagues cannot be bad at what he does.

Sharon...thank you for sharing about your Dad. I remember him as a kid in the Polo Grounds. I believe he wore #6 but I really remember sitting in the upper deck, section 33 during batting practice and having your dad hit pitch after pitch right to us. I still remember that.

As I’ve aged I have realized that anyone who has played in the major leagues was an exceptional ball player. To get there before expansion in the 1960’s you had to be one of the best 400 players in the world at any one time.

Hope he has had a good life and Happy Birthday.
