May has been one of the best players so far and had been decorated nationally as well. May, however, per his achievements had the opportunity to help usher in the era of MLB’s westward expansion, his star power fueling the New York Giants move to San Francisco in 1958. He hit 660 homers and may have beaten Hank Aaron to Babe Ruth’s record had he not lost nearly two years of military service.
May has worked very hard and established several goals for the younger generation to follow. Before he could even walk, little Mays was taught how to catch a ball. At age 14, he joined his father on the mill team. He played basketball and football because his high school didn’t have a baseball team. At the age of 16, Mays made his professional debut with the Birmingham Black Barons of the segregated Negro Southern League.
Who is better Willie Mays or Mickey Mantle?
They were both quite fast, but Willie stole more bases even though Mickey was undoubtedly faster because Mickey was afraid of hurting his weak legs when he tried to steal. Willie hit more home runs despite Mickey having more power because he played longer and faced fewer pitches.
