 Interesting, at times exciting, but too long. July 17, 2010
This is an interesting book, at times exciting, but the book could have been at least 20% shorter. There is some repetitious material which gets boring. But overall it is a good read.
Willie Mays: the real deal July 13, 2010
I was one of those kids of the late 50s and early 60s fortunate to grow up in the Bay Area, old enough to be a Giants fan, and lucky enough to have a dad who took me to several games at Candlestick. So I got to see Mays in action numerous times, as well as his amazing teammates of that era: Willie McCovey, Juan Marichal, Orlando Cepeda, Jim Davenport, et al. My dad and I even got to sit in a third base box for the sixth game of the 1962 World Series. I was in heaven, especially when the Giants won.
I was one of those who grew up and into my adulthood thinking that Willie Mays was the best ballplayer of all time. This book confirms that. Now I know for sure that he was. Not only was a genuine, all-around, complete ballplayer, but he was a gentleman, modest, and a very kind man. He was and still is my hero. God Bless Willie Mays. And God Bless James Hirsch for writing this wonderful biography.
Willie Mays Book July 3, 2010
The first book that was sent was in an envelope, and all of the corners were mangled. I called and was expressed another copy. I was very pleased with the service.
 Solid and complete picture of one of baseballs GREATS. June 27, 2010
This book is for a true baseball fan.
Focused mainly around his playing career but interspersed with the story of his life too.
This book is really exhaustive, and at times exhausting, due to its length. However, it's worth the effort for any fan of baseball. It also examines the racial tension of his life and his roots in Alabama.
I was fortunate to have lived through the tail end of Willie's career, and he seemed to have a certain aura around him and his baseball cards, even in those later years of his career.
I also caught an interview with Charlie Rose that Willie did, recently after the release of this book. If you get a chance to catch that somehow, you'll really gain a complete understanding of the man and his calm and generous demeanor, but not diminishing from his competitiveness.
This is great book, but a little lengthy for the casual reader.
Great book June 24, 2010
