Description
Willie Mays, the "Say Hey Kid," had it all-- the passion, the power, and the ability to play some of the most memorable baseball in the history of the game. He ended his career as an elite member of the 3,000-hit club with 3,283 total and was the first player to hit 50 homers in a season, collecting 660 total. The National League Rookie of the Year in 1951 and two-time Most Valuable Player is also considered one of the best defensive players and has 12 Golden Gloves to show for it. Nicknamed the "Say Hey Kid" for his tendency to say, "Say who?, Say what? Say hey," Mays played in 24 All-Star Games, but is perhaps remembered most for his seemingly impossible catch of Vic Wertz's drive to center field in the first game of the 1954 World Series. Willie Mays hand signed this 8x10 photograph of that legendary catch, which he made on Sept. 29, 1954. This product comes complete with a Steiner Sports Certificate of Authenticity.
