HERE IS WHAT OTHER METS FANS HAVE TO SAY:

Bill White (no relation)
August 29, 2003
My boyhood hero. I imagined myself as a similar fielder. I was a better contact hitter (if you disregard the fact that Maxvill played in the National League, and I played in the Hazelwood, MO, Kouhry league).

Jonathan Stern
June 16, 2005
A winning ballplayer who was a teammate of Joe Torre's in St. Louis. Torre hired him to serve as a Mets coach, and Maxvill, as the Cards' GM, returned the favor a little more than a decade later when he hired Torre to replace Whitey Herzog as the Cards' manager. Eventually lost his job when he stood up against the Busch family for Torre (who himself lost his job soon afterwards).

NYB Buff

Just like Bud Harrelson, Dal was an excellent shortstop who wasn't a power hitter. He had only six home runs (half of which were against the Mets) during his fourteen-year career. Two of his homers were inside-the-park, but one of the four that left the yard came in Montreal and was the first major league grand slam ever hit in Canada.
Maxvill played for four World Series winners, two in St. Louis and two in Oakland. That's a championship ring for every ball he knocked over the fence.
