Contemporaries Praise 'Say-Hey' AP Sports Writer
Willie Mays retires praised as the era’s most complete player by peers and rivals. Contemporaries like Gene Mauch and Whitey Lockman cite peak seasons with high batting averages, 50 stolen bases, 50 home runs, and 150 RBIs. Mays recalls signature plays from the Polo Grounds to Dodgers battles and reflects on windier Candlestick Park years. He earned MVP honors, hit 660 homers, and notes two Army years cost him roughly 75 home runs.
