A must have for the stalwart Willie Mays and Giants' fan.  Also a great find for the Baseball Hall of Fame collector.

Nicknamed The Say Hey Kid, Willie Mays was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1979, his first year of eligibility. He played the majority of his career with the New York and San Francisco Giants before finishing his career with the New York Mets. Mays won two MVP awards and tied an All Star record with twenty-four appearances in the annual classic. He ended his career with 660 career home runs, third at the time of his retirement, and currently fourth all-time. Many consider him to be the greatest all-around player of all-time.

Mays' first Major League manager, Leo Durocher, described Mays' abundance of talent, saying: "He could do the five things you have to do to be a superstar: hit, hit with power, run, throw, and field. And he had that other ingredient that turns a superstar into a super superstar. He lit up the room when he came in. He was a joy to be around." Upon his Hall of Fame induction, Mays was asked to name the best player that he had seen during his career. Mays replied, "I don't mean to be bashful, but I was."
