Happy Birthday Willie Mays

The "Say Hey" Kid turned 78 today. Pictured is, at the time New York Giant, playing stickball with kids in Harlem. Here are some impressive stats from the Hall of Famer:
  • Won two MVP awards
  • Tied a record with twenty-four appearances in the All-Star Game
  • Ended his career with 660 career home runs
  • Is the only Major League player to have hit a home run in every inning from the 1st through the 16th
  • Is one of four NL players to have eight consecutive 100-RBI seasons, along with Mel Ott, Sammy Sosa and Albert Pujols
FYI: Next time you see him look close at his ears - he currently wears Starkey ITEs (hearing aids)!
