Willie Mays mademagic with young fan

In the summer of 1959, I was 9 and living in San Jose. One afternoon, my friend Kathleen and I were riding our bikes on Stevens Creek Boulevard. We passed a used car lot with balloons and a sign that said: “Meet Willie Mays!” We thought, “Let’s do it.”

We parked our bikes and walked over to three gentlemen in suits. Luckily, we were the only visitors at the time.
