"Say Hey": Bob Kendrick, John Shea, and former teammate Bill White on the great Willie Mays
John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle joins Bob Kendrick to celebrate the career of former Birmingham Black Baron and baseball icon Willie Mays, from his Negro Leagues playing style (4:19), his comparisons to the great Oscar Charleston (7:15), his showdown with Satchel Paige (9:10), and his career with the Birmingham Black Barons (15:32), to his Hall of Fame Major League career, and just how close he came to sharing an outfield with Henry Aaron as a Cleveland Indian (23:32). Then, former New York Giants teammate Bill White stops by (34:20) to tell stories of the man he considers a father figure, the incomparable Willie Mays.
