The
legendary Willie Mays shares the inspirations and influences responsible for
guiding him on and off the field in this reflective and inspirational memoir.
"Even
if, like me, you thought you had pretty much read and heard all there was to
read and hear about Willie Mays, this warmhearted book will inform and reward
you. And besides, what true baseball fan can ever get enough of Willie Mays?
Say Hey! Read on and enjoy." ―From the Foreword by Bob Costas
“It’s
because of giants like Willie that someone like me could even think about
running for President.” ―President Barack Obama
Widely regarded as the greatest
all-around player in baseball history because of his unparalleled hitting,
defense and baserunning, the beloved Willie Mays offers people of all ages his
lifetime of experience meeting challenges with positivity, integrity and
triumph in 24: Life Stories and Lessons from the Say Hey Kid.
Presented in 24 chapters to
correspond with his universally recognized uniform number, Willie’s memoir
provides more than the story of his role in America’s pastime. This is the
story of a man who values family and community, engages in charitable causes
especially involving children and follows a philosophy that encourages hope,
hard work and the fulfillment of dreams.
“I
was very lucky when I was a child. My family took care of me and made sure I
was in early at night. I didn’t get in trouble. My father made sure that I
didn’t do the wrong thing. I’ve always had a special place in my heart for
children and their well-being, and John Shea and I got the idea that we should
do something for the kids and the fathers and the mothers, and that’s why this
book is being published. We want to reach out to all generations and
backgrounds. Hopefully, these stories and lessons will inspire people in a
positive way.” ―Willie Mays
