    Extractions: Baseball Almanac "Baseball is a game, yes. It is also a business. But what it most truly is, is disguised combat. For all its gentility, its almost leisurely pace, baseball is violence under wraps." - Willie Mays B aseball Almanac is pleased to present an unprecedented collection of baseball related quotations spoken by Willie Mays and about Willie Mays. Willie Mays Quotations From Willie Mays "Baseball is a game, yes. It is also a business. But what it most truly is, is disguised combat. For all its gentility, its almost leisurely pace, baseball is violence under wraps." "Every time I look at my pocketbook, I see Jackie Robinson ." "I always enjoyed playing ball, and it didn't matter to me whether I played with white kids or black. I never understood why an issue was made of who I played with, and I never felt comfortable, when I grew up, telling other people how to act. Over the years, a lot of organizations have asked me to be their spokesman, or have wanted me to make speeches about my experiences as a black athlete, or to talk to Congressmen about racial issues in sports. But see, I never recall trouble. I believe I had a happy childhood. Besides playing school sports, we'd play football against the white kids. And we thought nothing of it, neither the blacks nor the whites. It was the grownups who got upset ... I never got into a fight that was caused by racism." In Say Hey : The Autobiography of Willie Mays (1988)

    http://espn.go.com/sportscentury/features/00016223.html
    
    Extractions: The 20-year-old kid with the bright, boyish smile entered the majors tentatively, like a child peeking into a forbidden room. But he soon realized that he did indeed belong, that he wasn't an interloper. Not only did he play the game with extreme skill, but for most of his 22-year career, he made the game seem like, well, fun. The Say Hey Kid mastered the five fundamentals of baseball. There always was something fresh and pleasurable in his performance. Making a glove-thumping basket catch or a whirling throw in centerfield, losing his hat running the bases or swinging from his heels at the plate, Willie Mays played with an irresistible, unrelenting exuberance. "I can never understand how some players are always talking about baseball being hard work," Mays said during his first decade in the game. "To me, it's always been a pleasure, even when I feel sort of draggy after a doubleheader." It's like Brooklyn Dodgers catcher Roy Campanella said, "You gotta be a man to play baseball for a living, but you gotta have a lot of little boy in you, too."

    Extractions: Willie McCovey was a fan favorite with the San Francisco Giants when he shared the limelight with Willie Mays and the two formed a powerful duo. In the late 1960s he was baseball’s best hitter, hitting as many as 45 homers in a season, despite the fact that pitcher's worked around him often. The Alabama-native used his sweet swing to launch 521 round trippers – a record for left-handed NL batters, until bested by Barry Bonds. McCovey was elected to the Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility.

    Extractions: "In order to excel, you must be completely dedicated to your chosen sport. You must also be prepared to work hard and be willing to accept destructive criticism. Without 100 percent dedication, you won't be able to do this." Maybe I was born to play ball. Maybe I truly was. "I don't compare 'em, I just catch 'em." "I remember the last season I played. I went home after a ballgame one day, lay down on my bed, and tears came to my eyes. How can you explain that? You cry because you love her. I cried, I guess, because I loved baseball and I knew I had to leave it."

    Extractions: Alpha Index Index by Sport Index of Women Career Hitting Record Other Resources Mays brought more than just great skill to the game of baseball. He also brought a rare exuberance and excitement to the sport, prompting Leo Durocher to say, "Willie is without doubt the most dynamic, most dramatic, most fantastic, most exciting performer in action today. He is Joe Louis, Jascha Heifetz, Sammy Davis, and Nashua rolled into one." At sixteen, he was playing for the Birmingham Black Barons. The New York Giants paid $15,000 for his contract in 1950 and gave Mays a $6,000 signing bonus. After a season at the Class B level, he jumped to Minneapolis in the Triple-A American Association, where he batted .477 in the first 35 games of the 1951 season. The Giants then brought him up. Mays went hitless in his first 21 major-league at-bats, but he ended up batting .274 with 20 home runs and 68 RBI in 121 games and fielding sensationally to help win a pennant. Mays missed most of the 1952 season and all of the 1953 season while serving in the Army. He returned in 1954 to help lead the Giants to another pennant, leading the league in hitting with a .345 average, in slugging with a .667 percentage, and in triples with 13. He also had 41 home runs, 110 RBI, and 119 runs scored, won the league's most valuable player award, and was named male athlete of the year by the Associated Press.

    Extractions: Great African American Baseball Players Willie Mays If there's any word to describe Willie Mays as a baseball player it would be excellent. Mays excelled in all categories. Born in Alabama, by the age of 6 he went to an all black school. When he was 8 he was good enough at baseball to play with the 12-year-olds. When Mays was 19 he joined the Negro Birmingham Black Barons . Then in 1951 he became part of the New York Giants. In that year he received the "Rookie of the Year" award. This was during the Korean War , and the next year Mays was drafted into military service. When he came back, his first at-bat was a home run. Willie Mays began his major league baseball career with only one hit in his first 26 at-bats. Though he went on to hit 660 home runs (third on the all-time list), and steal more than 300 bases, his debut was so unimpressive it seemed unlikely he would last more than a few weeks as a big-leaguer, let alone become one of the greatest to play the game. The turning point for Mays occurred when his manager, Leo Durocher, found him crying in the dugout after yet another miserable performance at the plate. The coach put his arm around Mays and said, "What's the matter, son?" Mays said, "I can't hit up here. I belong in the minor leagues." Durocher said this to Willie Mays: "As long as I'm manager of the Giants, you'll be my centerfielder."
