You got it!  

SF Chronicle columnist Charles McCabe, the last of the crusty old geezers, had a real vendetta for Willie Mac that 2nd year (1960) for some unfathomable reason, never missed a chance to take a shot at him.  I think part of it had to do with Willie sometimes having to play in LF because the Giants already had Orlando Cepeda at 1B.  It was a real tossup who was the worse LF, Cepeda or McCovey, and I think the brass finally figured out that Willie would do the least damage out there.
