That was a great NYT article today! I loved how Mays said his biggest achievement was coming into the league with a size 32 waist and leaving the league with the same. One of the all time greats no doubt.

Imagine if Willie had a chance to showcase his skills as an NFL Quarterback, we can only dream.
My all time favorite sports athlete in any sport.
