Willie Mays. Serious Badass. Willie Mays was way before my time. I saw him play on TV for the Mets when he wasn’t even a shadow of his former greatness. Still, I knew and he carried the aura. And oh that catch in the World Series! What most people miss is that as great as the catch was, the throw was even more incredible… A belated HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the greatest all-around player of all time!
