Willie Mays “The Say Hey Kid,” was one of the greatest baseball players to ever play the game. Mays played 23 seasons in Major League Baseball, primarily as a center fielder for the New York/San Francisco Giants, & later the New York Mets. He began playing professionally at age 16 with the Birmingham Black Barons of the Negro Leagues before joining MLB in 1951. He went on to become a defining figure in baseball history & was celebrated for being a five-tool player (a player who excels in many areas of the sport), excelling in hitting, power, speed, fielding, & throwing. One of his most iconic moments was “The Catch” in Game 1 of the 1954 World Series, an over-the-shoulder running grab that remains one of the most famous defensive plays in baseball history. He was a World Series champion, 24x All-Star & received 12x Gold Glove Award among many awards & in 1979 Mays was selected to the Baseball Hall of Fame.
