Happy birthday
Happy 90th Willie Mays. I saw him play in 1956 All Star game in Griffith stadium. One of the very best.

I grew up watching Wille. He was my all time hero. Probably one of the best if not the best all around players ever. Hit run and throw...

I watched him in person a lot in the late 60’s/early 70’s.
I knew, as a baseball player absolutely in love with the game, that I could never be him but I wanted to try. That was Mr. Mays. Last edited by Seahawk; 05-08-2021 at 10:29 AM.. |

I had to Wiki Willie when I saw this thread.... thought we might share the same date. I'm a bit younger than you guys... huge baseball fan as a pre-teen and by 72-73 was a devout NY Mets (mostly Tom Seaver) fan ... and I had to watch Willie when he was a "shadow" of his former self.... it was sad. But my dad was a big SF Giants fan .... so I knew the real deal  . Wish I could have seen him play in his "Say hey" daze ...Happy birthday + 2 Willie Mays
