I was two years old when Willie made "the catch" in the 54 Series. I didn't even know what a baseball was. Lived in LA. As the years passed, however, I came to admire him above all others. Always cheerful. Great for team spirit. Super showman. Extremely gifted athlete, yet humble almost to a fault. Leo Durocher protected him & allowed his talent to come into full bloom. I've always believed baseball is primarily a defensive sport, and in this light no one will ever compare to my man Willie.
