Treniers - Say Hey (Willie Mays Song)

The Treniers were a rock and swing band led by two brothers, Cliff and Claude Trenier, who both had once worked with the Jimmie Lunceford Orchestra. They were pioneers of early rock and roll taking their "swing" in a new direction. Many of their songs had a humorous twist like this one in which they actually got Willie Mays to take a vocal part. But make no mistake, it still "swings", if you'll pardon the pun. "Say Hey" was an habitual expression Willie used when speaking, and therefore the moniker, the "Say Hey Kid".

The all around ball player to ever grace the diamond.

Willie Mays was so fast that he could turn off the light and get into bed before it got dark.

To the best all around of all time.

Long live Willie Mays

Unquestionably the greatest all-around ballplayer to ever play the game. His 660 career homer total could've been at least another 150 dingers higher but for two years in the service and the Candlestick winds (before they completely closed the stadium). Happy Birthday Willie!!

I'm a huge fan of Babe Ruth and everything that he accomplished. But...

to say he's the most complete player?! Come on. Willie Mays was the best ALL AROUND player to ever play the game. The Babe couldn't touch Willie in terms of baserunning and defense. When you look up 5-tool player in the dictionary and it's the face of Willie Mays that you should see. Speed, power, average, arm, defense...Willie did it all as well or better than anyone.

Wow, TO SAY RUTH WAS THE MOST COMPLETE PLAYER IS OUTRAGEOUS!, ESPECIALLY DO TO THE FACT THE NOBODY,NOBODY HAS EQUALLED MAYS IN POWER, FIELDING, HITTING, AND RUNNING....EVER!!!!!!
