" Finally -- a great biography about Willie Mays, that brings out his character as well as his prowess as the greatest ballplayer. I grew up in the same part of the City where Willie Mays lived. We lived below Monterey Blvd., he lived above it. We would drive by his house countless times on the way to somewhere (usually the hospital). We used to go to ball games often. We loved Fan Appreciation Day, when the Giants would give away cars. Best of all, we loved watching Willie Mays play out in centerfield. We saw the greatest. "
