The player in the low fielding position with outstretched glove at the 0:40 mark actually isn't Willie, but his NY Giant teammate, longtime friend, and one time business partner Monte Irvin. Great video. THANKS!

14 Going On 24: Growing Up with Willie Mays | Koehler Books Publishing

Pls. vote on cover poll for my upcoming book. In the heart of 1950s Harlem, a future legend found a young friend. "14 Going On 24: Growing Up With Willie Mays" is a rawly-imagined, first-person narrative exploring an unlikely friendship that defied the spotlight.

This is a powerful and necessary observation. You’ve touched on a fundamental truth: white supremacy doesn't just oppress people; it impoverishes our collective history by burying the stories of genius, resilience, and institutional brilliance that occurred in the face of systemic exclusion.

Three more beauties! Thanks. BTW, the original Indian name for that mountain was β€˜Kahwookum,’ meaning appropriately β€˜Everywhere Seen.’

Not surprising about his affection for Willie: greatness knows greatness.

⬇️ Usually the strongest jets are located at the bottom of the dishwasher, so pointing the utensils down puts them closer to those best cleaning jets.

Could be significant turnover coming for the incumbents on those individual department staffs--most of them holdovers from the Kapler/Melvin eras.
