Say Hey, Willie Mays!

This is a great documentary covering the life and career of Willie Mays. It touches every part of his amazing career and everything in his personal life that made him amazing and revered by all who met him.

Coming into this movie my knowledge of Mays was shamefully very little. I knew of his greatness but since I never watched him play I just never realized how impactful he was to the sport of baseball.

This documentary also highlights his affable personality and ability to get people working together. It also highlights the different role Mays took on during the Civil Rights era from that of his peers who took on more vocal roles during this period. Willie Mays spent his time talking to individuals instead of speaking to crowds which fits his personality. And his impact was still great as he helped shape those around him especially young Black athletes in their careers.

Its a fantastic doc for baseball fans of those interested in exploring more Heroes from the Civil Rights Era!
