Willie Mays, The Say Hey Kid. 22 seasons with the New York Giants, San Francisco Giants, New York Mets. Lifetime .303 Batting Average, 660 Home Runs, 3283 Hits, 24 All Star Game appearances. Hall of Fame.
Willie made the greatest catch in World Series history on September 29,1954, game one.
His over the shoulder 'basket catch' in deep center field of the Polo Grounds, in New York City., took the wind out of the mighty Cleveland Indians who had won a Major League record 111 games that year to win the American League pennant. Giants swept in 4, Their last World Series Championship.
Willie did it all in The Golden Age of Baseball. Hit. Run. Field. Records galore.
Once asked ,'Who was the best player he had every seen play the game?'
Willie replied "Myself, Willie Mays". American Icon, Willie Mays...
Willie is the Godfather of Barry Bonds, now under indictment in San Francisco Ca.,charged with lying to a Federal Grand Jury about his use of steroids during his record breaking Home Run years. Willie hit his 660 Home Runs the old fashioned way, starting his day with a big bowl of Wheaties, Breakfast of Champions....They'll never be another one like The Say Hey Kid...
