Saw Howard on a number of occasions at both RFK and Memorial Stadium back in the late 60’s...when he got a hold of one, the entire crowd gasped in awe.
To: DFG
He was bigger than Boog Powell. RIP Hondo!

Rest In Peace Hondo.
I saw the Senators many times and the ol’ RFK stadium was nearly empty every time. It was a weird time in Washington Baseball.

the ball he hit at Tiger Stadium bounced twice and just went right on out on to the I-75 service drive...believe it was July 1968...

Wonderful, first class man. Signed a ball for me once with “68-70 home run king” inscribed beneath his name. RIP and God bless you, Frank.

I saw Frank Howard win a game with a walkoff homer in the early 60s when I was a kid. It was probably my very first big league game at Dodger stadium. I’ve been a Dodger fan ever since.

I remember his days as a Dodger.
Not really a baszeball fan, but it was big in my family.

The only baseball card I own. Saw him play against the Twins with the Senators. Used to have a Senators pennant.
