Say HEY! Willie Mays, 75 on Saturday

Will look at those when I get home. You know what my thought was when I saw this revived.

I think people have said this before, I should have prefaced with HE’S NOT DEAD

Vic Wertz, born February 9, 1925.

Totally forgot till a friend's FB post reminded me: 93 today.

I was going to update this thread but I didn’t want you to think he died

Willie Mays was standing at the batting cage. I stuck my hand out. "I'm Jim Bouton."

“Oh sure,” he said. “Jim Bouton. I know you.

“You’ve always been one of my heroes,” he said. “When I was a kid, my brother and I always used to go up to the Polo Grounds to watch you play.”

"Now, why'd you have to go and say you came to see me when you were a kid?" Willie Mays said, his voice squeaky with mock anger.

"And you know something, Willie?" Tommy Davis said. "He's only thirty-five years old."

Mays groaned. "Why couldn't you just come over and say 'Hi'?" he said. "Now I feel like an old man."

Funny, he doesn’t look like an old man. Especially when he plays baseball.
