Summary: Say Hey?
Review: I read this book a few years ago, and was both interested in Willie Mays not only as a player, but as a man. Growing up a baseball player Willie Mays was someone to idolize, and with the way he played, this was easy to do. What was most sad about this book was the fact that Willie ended up a great career having little money to show for it, and had to become a greeter at a casino to make ends meet. One can only imagine how much money he would command now, and how he would be set for life in today's current baseball climate. If A-Rod gets $25 million a year, than Willie would get much more. This book gets points for being an honest look at Willie's life, from his own perspective, and for that I aplaud him. If you like baseball, you will like this book.

Summary: A very well written autobiography
Review: The autobiography of Willie Mayes portrays the life and times of one of America's best baseball players. Willie Mays played with a style and flair unmatched in this day and age. The book describes his trials and tribulations growing up in the deep south. It is a very well-written autobiography, and if readers are into baseball or Willie Mays this is an excellent selection. It is an excellent selection because it is a profile of American baseball and the way we idolize professional athletes.

Summary: say hey hey hey
Review: This book is a great autobiography about a great black baseball player that ever played the game. This story will tell you about how he grew up in broyklen playing stickball in the streets with all of his friends. When this great ball player got his chance to play baseball for money he took it. He first started out in the Negro leagues for the New York giant's minor league team and then he finally got his chance to play in the bigs and play centerfield and right field because the rightfeilder was really slow so the coach had him playing two positions. When he went up to the bigs, he really helped there team go all the way to the World Series to play against the Indians. The giants swept the Indians in three straight games and took the pennit. I would recommend this book to anybody out there who loves the game of baseball. It is a well-written autobiography about a great baseball player who was voted the greatest player of his time. If you wanted to pick this book up and read it you would fall in love with the game of baseball or fall in love with Willie Mays hays.
