WILLIE MAYS isn't such a bad guy
 

Nice article in today's New York Times -

I saw him interviewed on the Charlie Rose Show a while back and he seemed sharp. Had often heard he was sick.

He said he's no so fan friendly, because he was uncomfortable being the center of attention in crowds and didn't like to answer questions about his past which he didn't consider pleasant (racism as a young player, etc).

Then . . . and now
 

Coming full circle. Thanks for posting the link, Richard.

Great story! Thanx for the link. Cool photo David!

Little bit of New York racism in that photo too. Willie Mays is "our boy" and I couldn't imagine they would ever put a white woman among those beauties.

It was what it was. I just see people in the photo. We have come a long way.

One nice deed does not make up for years of being a complete tool.

Along with Frank Robinson.....he ruined my day once when I was 13.....never liked him since.

Nobody said it did, but u got to start somewhere bro.
