Willie Mays

Willie Howard "Say Hey" Mays
Batted: Right
Threw: Right
Height: 5'11"
Weight: 180 lbs.
Born: May 6, 1931 in Westfield, AL
Signed: 1950 by the New York Giants
Acquired: traded from the San Francisco Giants for Charlie Williams and cash, May 1972
Departed: retired following 1973 World Series
Died: June 18, 2024 in Palo Alto, CA

One of the twenty or so greatest players ever to put on a big-league uniform. Willie began his career with the New York National League team (the Giants, that is), then moved west when that franchise went to San Francisco. He continued to build his Hall of Fame résumé there, then returned home to New York to finish his career with the Mets. The last hit of his superlative career came for the Mets in the 1973 World Series, a fitting farewell for one of the all-time greats in baseball history. The Say Hey Kid is pictured here on his 1964 Topps Giants card, and there are several more of Willie's cards pictured below.

This is a list of the cards of this player that I had in my Mets collection before I transferred the ownership of said collection to another diligent and capable Mets fan. The cards that are listed in light gray print and struck through are cards that were sold for charity prior to my divestiture. The cards listed in white text are the ones that still remained until that final deal. Items listed in green I kept out of the deal, just so I'd have something to display in my office and den. At the bottom and listed in orange text are cards that I picked up after the dealing was done, in order to maintain a certain continuity at this site; that is, so I'd have a card to show you at the top of the page, and maybe in the autographs and game-used areas. If an orange card is struck through, it has also departed the collection. I’m still accepting donations, should you feel so moved. Contact me by following this link: NYMHall.

"There's never been a perfect ballplayer. Willie Mays came closest."

-- Joe DiMaggio ¹

"Willie Mays had the most unsurpassed instinct or anticipation I've ever seen...it was phenomenal."

-- Willie's former manager Charlie Fox ¹

"That Willie Mays, he's one of the greatest center fielders who ever lived. You can go back as far as you want and name all the great ones--Tris Speaker, Eddie Roush, Max Carey, Earl Combs, Joe DiMaggio. I don't care who you name, Mays is just as good, maybe better."

-- Hall of Fame outfielder Harry Hooper ¹
