The "Say Hey" Kid, one of our heroes…I went to a Giant’s game with my parents at Candlestick Park…

When I read about his death, I found it hard to believe, even though rationally there would be no reason to be surprised. It's just that he was one of those iconic figures in American culture.

When I was growing up in New York in the 50's and 60's, a lot of people (both adults and kids) were Giants or Dodgers fans, as both of those teams moved from New York to California in the 50's. So we were all very conscious of Wille Mays.

@DrWatson Yes as a child we all knew about him and his baseball cards were treasured never traded.
