I ended up liking it out there ... How could you not? You're playing beside Willie Mays, and you knew if you weren't going to get it, he would.
said Willie McCovey

When I read about 'House' getting a nomination, I thought of Willie Mays in 1973 falling down in center field as a Met ... Picking 'House' as a best series this year would be like picking Willie for the All-Star game that year based on his great career. Although let me say that 'House' used to be very good, but was never in the Willie Mays category.
said Jimmy LaGallo
I've talked to a lot of people ... I've talked to Hall of Famers ... Hank Aaron, Willie Mays, Rod Carew. They talk about the bat handles and everything else. Everybody has a different theory on it.
