Descriere magazin:
The story of Willie Mays\'s rookie year with the Negro American League\'s Birmingham Black Barons, the Last Negro World Series, and the making of a baseball legendBaseball Hall of Famer Willie Mays is one of baseball\'s endearing greats, a tremendously talented and charismatic center fielder who hit 660 career homeruns, collected 3,283 hits, knocked in 1,903 runs, won 12 Gold Glove Awards and appeared in 24 All-Star games. But before Mays was the Say Hey Kid, he was just a boy. Willie\'s Boys is the story of his remarkable 1948 rookie season with the Negro American League\'s Birmingham Black Barons, who took a risk on a raw but gifted 16-year-old and gave him the experience, confidence, and connections to escape Birmingham\'s segregation, navigate baseball\'s institutional racism, and sign with the New York Giants.
