Default Willie Mays at Philly

Posted By: Patrick McHugh

I had the pleasure of meeting Mr Mays at a sighning at Ballys casino in Las Vegas in the sportsbook about 15 years ago. He was fantastic. I walked right up to the table when it first started and i do not think anyone else really even knew what was going on. He had photos on the table no charge but would not autograph any other item. Anyway I talked with him for about 5 min. Just me and him. Willie was just really nice and it was great to listen to him talk baseball. I have heard many bad things but also have heard that once in awhile he lightens up and is really a pleasure to meet. I guess i caught him on one of those days. Maybe in Philly he may be in that carefree mode.
