DMcDAnother good question, Sean! Watching Willie Mays hit a home run on TV is my very first baseball memory. In the summer of 1955 when I was five I was at my friend's house and his dad was watching a NY Giants game on TV (they only had black-and-white TV then). Mays had just hit a home run. I asked him why he didn't keep running around the bases again so he would get more runs, and he explained that you only get to score once on a home run. I have a million more baseball memories but that is the first. I have been a Giants fan ever since.
