Willie Stargell (1940-2001) powered the 1979 Pittsburgh Pirates, a multicultural team known as "The Family", to a World Series title.
Hitting 475 home runs during his career, the seven-time National League All-Star is famous for smashing baseballs out of stadiums, but "Pops" Stargell is also remembered for promoting harmony between players from different backgrounds.
