Willie Howard Mays Jr Quotes

Yes, I had to learn how to live life outside, but I had so many people help me.

When I’m not hitting, I don’t hit nobody. But, when I’m hitting, I hit anybody.

When I was in Birmingham I used to go to a place called Redwood Field. I used to get there for a two o’clock game. Where can you make this kind of money playing sports? It was just a pleasure to go out and enjoy myself and get paid for it.

When I got to professional ball I used to play 150 games every year. It depends on how many games there was.

They throw the ball, I hit it. They hit the ball, I catch it.

That’s how easy baseball was for me. I’m not trying to brag or anything, but I had the knowledge before I became a professional baseball player to do all these things and know what each guy would hit.
