He was a good player, a four time all-star.

I must have been asleep when this was COTD. A great concept. Never knew Beckert played for the Pads. Will always remember him as a Cubbie. In an age of good glove no-hit second basemen, Glenn was a really good hitter. They had a great year in 1969 under Durocher. Had an 8 game lead in August but in Cub fashion, blew that to finish 8 games behind the Amazin's. It still amazes that he hit .342 in 1971, 3rd behind Joe Torre's league leading .363 but still a point better than the great Roberto Clemente.
