Today, we quote baseball legend Willie Mays, who is still alive and well at age 79. Mays played from 1951-1973 with the New York/San Francisco Giants and the New York Mets (at the end of his career).
He is considered to be one of the very, very best players to ever play the game along with Ted Williams, Joe DiMaggio and Hank Aaron.
Mays made 24 All-Star Game appearances and he hit 660 homeruns. But, surprsingly enough, he only won one World Series with the 1954 New York Giants. May is also known by his nicknmae "The Say Hey Kid" and he mentioned in the John Fogerty song "Centerfield."
Here is the quote:
"Every time I look at my pocketbook, I see Jackie Robinson."
