"Willie Mays is one of the most captivating figures in baseball history. Play after play, year after year, he thrilled us with his unmatched combination of speed and power, skill and daring. Hirsch tells us Willie's compelling story, from his humblest of upbringings in Alabama to his rise, in the face of immense prejudice, to become one of Major League Baseball's early African American players to his becoming an enduring American icon as the 'Say Hey Kid.' I love Willie Mays because he played his game and lives his life with more than talent - he has the mind and heart of a champion" (President Bill Clinton).
