Historian presents Willie Howard Mays, Jr. (born May 6, 1931 in
Westfield, Alabama outside Birmingham) is a retired American baseball
player who played the majority of his career with the New York and San
Francisco Giants before finishing his career with the New York Mets.
Nicknamed The Say Hey Kid, Mays was elected to the Baseball Hall of
Fame in 1979, his first year of eligibility. Mays won two MVP awards
and tied a record with twenty-four appearances in the All-Star Game. 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.
