Baseball Fans Meet Living Legend at Sports Gallery
 On
April 2nd, 2005, Baseball Legend and Hall of Famer
Willie Mays made a special in-store appearance at
our Palo
Alto, California
store.
They
called him "The Say Hey Kid" when he was
in his prime, but now many people simply regard
him as the best all around baseball player in the
history of the game. His staggering career statistics
include 3,283 hits and 660 home runs.
The
Giants' superstar earned NL Rookie of the Year honors
in 1951 and two MVP awards. He accumulated 12 Gold
Gloves, played in a record-tying 24 All-Star Games
and participated in four World Series. Willie's
amazing over the shoulder catch of Vic Wertz' drive
in the 1954 Series remains one of Baseball's most
memorable moments
Signing
for two hours, Mr. Mays was a terrific host, chatting
with fans and graciously signing their Mays and
Giants keepsakes. A very special Appearance that
no one who attended, or us at Sports Gallery, will
ever forget.
 Check
out our photos from this special event below. And
please visit our events
& shows
page in the future for information on upcoming
in-store appearances and signings.
Thanks
to Mr. Mays for a great Appearance. And most of
all thanks to all the Willie and Giants fans that
made this such a terrific day.
