Say Hey: The Autobiography of Willie Mays. Signed by Willie Mays. First Edition. First Printing. New York, 1988.

Nicknamed “The Say Hey Kid,” Willie Mays had an illustrious baseball career. He is considered one of the greatest baseball players of all time. His autobiography describes his early days in the negro leagues and his transition to the majors, playing for the New York Giants. He also comments on his military years and his return to the Giants (by then moved to San Francisco), and ultimately his retirement. Punctuated throughout are descriptions of highlights of his career, his greatest plays, his most challenging opponents and dearest teammates. Considered an endearing work of baseball history, his autobiography reveals as much about Mays as it does the experience of playing through historic decades in major league baseball.
