    Extractions: HOWARD ‘WILLIE’ MAYS Born May 6, 1931, Westfield, Ala., both Mays' father and grandfather had been baseball players. Willie, who batted and fielded right-handed, played semiprofessional baseball when he was 16 years old and joined the Birmingham Black Barons of the Negro National League in 1948, playing only on Sunday during the school year. The National League New York Giants paid the Barons for his contract when he graduated from Fairfield Industrial High School in 1950. After two seasons in the minor leagues, Mays went to the Giants in 1951. He became known first for his spectacular leaping and diving catches before he established himself as a hitter. He served in the army (1952-54), and in the 1954 season, when the Giants won the National League pennant and the World Series, Mays led the league in hitting (.345) and had 41 home runs. In 1966 his two-year contract with the Giants (moved to San Francisco in 1958) gave him the highest salary of any baseball player of that time. He was traded to the New York Mets midseason in 1972 and retired after the 1973 season. Late in his career he played in the infield, mainly at first base. His career home run total was 660 and his batting average .302. He led the league in home runs in 1955, 1962, and 1964-65.

Willie Mays was only 16 years old when he entered the world of professional baseball in 1947 with the Negro League's Birmingham Black Barons. That season, Jackie Robinson would break baseball's color barrier and open the door for Mays and every other player who had been denied a shot at Major League Baseball because of skin color. Within 4 years, he would be on his way to establishing himself as one of the greatest players in the games. Mays has been described by writers as a player who approached every game like he was trying to make the team. It was 1950 when the New York Giants sent scout Eddie Montague to spring training in Birmingham to take a look at the Baron's first baseman Alonzo Perry. It wasn't Perry that caught his eye it was Willie Mays. Montague dispatched his scouting report to New York and it included the description, "The greatest ball player I had ever seen in my life." The Giants immediately starting to try to find a way to get Mays into their fold.

    Extractions: From Westfield, Alabama, both of his parents were athletes. His father played baseball on the all-Black teams of the segregated south, and his mother was a champion sprinter in her school. In his youth, his father also worked in a steel mill, and played on a semi- professional team sponsored by the mill. Young Mays was taught to catch a ball before he could walk, and at age 14, he joined his father on the mill team. His high school had no baseball team, so he played basketball and football. Mays began his professional career at age 16, playing with the Birmingham Black Barons in the segregated Negro Southern League. While his father avidly supported Willie's ambition to be a professional ball player, he also insisted his son finish high school. In his first year with the Barons, Willie was restricted to playing home games so he wouldn't miss school. The day he graduated from high school, the New York Giants signed him. Mays began playing in Trenton, New Jersey quickly advancing to their AAA farm club, the Minneapolis Millers. In 1951, at the age of 20 he joined the Giants at the Polo Grounds in New York City. Nicknamed the “Say Hey Kid”; Mays led NL in Home Runs and stolen bases 4 times each. He was a 2-time MVP (1954,65) with NY-San Francisco Giants and was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame. Mays played in 24 All-Star Games, earning MVP honors twice (1963,68). He was a 12-time Gold Glove winner; hit 660 Home Runs and had 3,283 hits in his career. In 1986, Mays returned to the San Francisco Giants organization, where he serves as special assistant to the president of the club.
