ENQUIRE ABOUT THIS WORK
We lost the great Willie Mays last week. To say that Willie Mays changed how baseball was played is quite an understatement.
He was the most spectacular baseball player that ever played and is beloved by generations of fans. He was a baseball god to so many. With only 660 home runs to his name, Neil certainly captured his essence on July 5th, 1962. And his essence was.. JOY!
