My mom texted me...

Here's his first career HR.

Thank you for signing another ball, which to me is "The Ball", Mr. Mays, even after I pissed you off.

Great scorecard! Embarrassed to say that I just learned he wore #14 at that time.

The greatest all around player to ever grace a diamond, says me, who was lucky enough to have a Dad who took me to Candlestick Park between 1965-1971. Willie was my childhood idol (I played centerfield in little league because of Willie I can still see him making basket catches in centerfield, and rounding 1st base to stretch a single into a double. Memories I will never forget!

You have the very ball that Mays hit for his first MLB home run? And it's even signed by Willie?

Sorry, no. Easy to read what I wrote that way though.

For me "The Ball" is this one :
