He was named to the next six All-Star Games, and the slugger won the Home Run (46) and RBI (142) Titles. He was later traded to the St. Louis Cardinals, where he helped them win the World Series in 1967. Cepeda also played for Atlanta, Oakland, Boston and Kansas City and retired with 379 Home Runs, 1,365 RBIs and a .297 Batting Average.
Cepeda was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1999.
