I was 5 years old, and my dad took me to see the Giants play. It was my first baseball game at Candlestick Park, and Willie Mays was playing. From then on I was hooked! While I never really played the game well myself, I enjoy going to games 58 years later.
Even after he retired, any time there was a televised event that included Willie Mays as a guest, I had to watch it!
I was crying when I heard he'd passed away. However, I'm glad he lived so long.
