Willie is the GOAT of Baseball. Easily the most well rounded player.
Had to come back to this after hearing about this great man's passing. So now, Willie, The Duke, and The Mick can have that eternal debate together. Man, were New Yorkers spoiled back in the 50's!😂❤
All three of them knew Mays was the best.
Joey D and Joe Jackson will be the ringleaders haha
The Great Willie Mays RIP to the Greatest of All Time. Class, Elegance and Kindness. His memory will live on forever.
RIP Sir.
Brilliantly composed both gentlemen you can tell the host was speaking from his heart and was like a kid up there with the Great Legendary Willie Mays
What a class act. What a player. RIP Say Hey Kid!
RIP Willie Mays
My family and I were in the studio audience that night. It was thrilling!
The greatest player of all time
No. Best since Ruth
Growing up in Brooklyn, NY and as a NY Yankees fan, I became a big fan of Mr. Mays... I just turned 10 y/o when this show was on. I mimic his basket catches playing stickball and still do it today when I play in my Sr. leagues and BP practices... LOL!!! My all-time MLB OutField = Aaron, Mays, Clemente ........🤩
RIP to a Legend
He was my hero as kid.
Very sad when he passed
Happy 90th Willie
Rest in peace 🕊️ Willie Mays, i share the same birthday as him, his birthday is May 6 as mine. ⚾🙏
Happy 90th Birthday!
I remember Mr. Willie Mays hitting a home run against the Army Baseball team at Abner Doubleday field at West Point, New York in May 1973 when played for the NY Mets! An awesome ballplayer of his era. Today,Hank Aaron and Willie Mays and other Hall of Fame Greats would own the entire league of baseball.
Legends never die
He hit 660 home runs in an era dominated by pitching and defense. He was one of the top defensive players of his era, as well. He played in 4 World Series (1951, 1954, 1962, and 1973) and his Giants finished close 2nd's from 1963-68.
don’t forget the negro leagues world series when he was 17 youngest to ever play in a world series 🤯
Served A year in the army early in his career. He might have reached 700 home runs
Plus he played nearly his entire career in 2 ballparks (Polo Grounds & Candlestick Park) that were tough to hit HR's in. Had Mays played where Ruth and Aaron played, he probably hits 800+ HR's.
@@leonardbonitt3586
Almost two years. Let's say he missed 200 games. Forty HRs in 200 games puts him at 700!
A genius. Nobody thought the game and knew every aspect of the game like Willie. Opposing players that were in a hitting or fielding slump sought out Willie for advice.
RIP Say Hey Willie Mays
Willie was great. He did it all. He is in the goat discussion.
Absolute gentleman
R.I.P. Mr. Willie Mays
Ed looks absolutely thrilled like a boy who met his baseball hero in real life. Lol
"When they pitch it, I hit it. When they hit it, I catch it" - Willie Mays
Greatest of All Time
He was soooo handsome
legend
Willie’s comment to Ed about needing the bat earlier in the day is because that afternoon the Giants lost to the Mets 6-1!
Now there's some detail for us...!😉
Exactly. I looked it up. And 1966 was his last great year. And he rebounded in 71.
Hands down the greatest baseball player to ever play the game, he could hit for power 660 home runs and 1,903 RBIs, hit for a high batting average .302 lifetime batting average, he had speed on the bases and stole 338 bases and was an exceptional center fielder winning 12 gold gloves.
Willie Mays was born in Westfield, Alabama, on May 6, 1931, is 93 years old.
He broke with the Giants in 1951 and the rest of the story is one of the greatest careers in baseball history: .302 career average, 3,283 hits, 660 HR, 1,903 RBI, & the first 30 HR-30 stolen bases player ever. He was on the 1950-51 Almendares team in pre-Castro Cuba. Unfortunately, Willie’s injuries kept him from playing, but he was there.
I saw a video where Willie did offer hitting tips, initiated by him, for SF Giants. Notice here that in his response to Ed Sullivan he saw that Ed was barking up the wrong tree. He immediately backed off Ed’s approach and emphasized that hitting was not of matter of overthinking, but doing things that allow him to trust his instincts. My favourite baseball player, always will be.
The real deal!
RIP SAY HI TO HANK AND MICKEY
My Dad and Grandpa were at the game in Milwaukee on April 30, 1961 when Willie hit his 4 Homers. Hank Aaron robbed #5 and got booed.
Willie, Mickey and the Duke,, talking Baseball ...
Never did like the Giants but TO ME he was the best.
Greatest thrill in baseball - Not that 1954 World Series catch? Despite all of his great offensive feats, that defensive play stands out for many fans.
@rshitman
His greatest thrill. Not yours. Ed asked him. Not you. Mind your business.
He did get into one fight, with Elio Chacon of the Mets, who started it
Family First.. Willie Mays is my real cousin. he's my great grandmother Janie Ruth Mays' cousin.
1:16 lol he said Mel Hein instead of Mel Ott
I believe Mel Hein was a football player for the other New York Giants probably got them mixed up.
He sure was
I hear Mel Ott.
@@joehill8014 he clearly says Mel Ott.
Lol, your hearing sux.
Ed Sullivan is a cousin of mine, albeit a few steps removed, but what the hell is he talking about fighting for with Willie?
That was pretty patronizing
I think all the white baseball players who hold records prior to accepting black players into the major leagues should have an asterisk by their name and accomplishments denoting (*Acquired During Racially Segregated Jim Crow Era).
Ahhhhhh, RUclips, the land of constructive criticism! YEAAAH RIGHT! If you're gonna interject racism into the conversation, don't half-ass it! To wit, isn't the American race narrative soooo hypocritical that we only accept a one sided argument about bitching and complaining over lost opportunities! OH MY, SATCHEL PAIGE NEVER GOT THE OPPORTUNITY TO STRIKE OUT THEM WHITE BOYS! PRE-1947 RECORDS NEED A RACIAL ASTERISK....oh fuck off. Lefty hitting Ted Williams never got to take Paige deep down the right field foul line at Fenway. Joe DiMaggio never got to take Paige deep down the left field foul line at Original 1923 Yankee Stadium! Spare me the pity play, and go drink that SJW Koolaid, idiots....🇵🇷🇺🇸🤣
@Money Making Makes a guy wonder how many career home runs Williams would have had had he not lost five years due to military duty? It's just too bad that he broke into the Majors in 1939, long after Babe Ruth retired. People like you and me would be making comparisons on their batting stats. Teddy Ballgame broke in just as Lou Gehrig was calling it quits due to his deteriorating health, so I have no way of knowing whether or not Williams ever got to play a game against him.
Wrong.
This is cringeworthy as Ed is so awkward. But, Willie’s personality comes through anyway. What an odd duck Ed Sullivan was.
