Mays had a better career than Mantle, but Mantle had it all over Mays in natural ability, much more raw power, and faster than Mays.

Greatest? Hmmm? YES...Greatest.

I was a 8 years old baeball playing kid when the Giants came to town in 1958.
I got to see him play in SF for many years.
With all reespect to all the other greats
in all of babeball I've seen over that 51 years.
#24 is no question the greatest player I ever saw.
He could do it All-Amazingly.
Great video-Thanks-Say Hey!

Mays never did that. He came close once, getting 3 assists on three different bases in one game, against LA, in 1966 I think.

Ever heard of Kirk Gibson????

I agree. Charles Epstein wrote a book called Willies Time that was amazing. Brocasting a road game from Atlanta stopped a race riot in San Francisco. Broadcasting a road game at that time was unheard of. Wille had what they called an outfilder cycle, he threw a guy out at each base from center field in one game. This book descibes him as a super human type player. I wish i could have watched him play.
great story. He was my idol as a ballplayer. I grew up in the bronx but loved #24. I was 12 yrs old when I found out willie was moving to SF. Ah the polo grounds. my memories are relived thanks to your post
