About this work
"The Say Hey Kid" Willie Howard Mays Jr. (b.1931) began his career in the Negro Leagues (1947) before joining the Major League's New York Giants in 1951. Excepting time in military service (1952-1953,) the exuberant center fielder became a mainstay of the Giants, who relocated to San Francisco in 1958. In 1973 Mays signed with the New York Mets, where he would play his final two seasons.
