1967 Topps #200 Willie Mays
About Willie Mays
Mays's 1967 cards look back on 1966: a .288 average, 37 home runs, 103 RBI, a tenth straight Gold Glove and a third-place finish in the Most Valuable Player voting, the ninth and last time he landed in the top five. That was also the year he passed Mel Ott's National League career home run record, and by the end of it only Babe Ruth had hit more, 714 to Mays's 542. His solo card is #200 from the third series; its back misprints his 1963 team line as Sna Fran. Card #244 has him third on the National League home run leaders behind Hank Aaron and Richie Allen. Card #423 is the Fence Busters pairing with his Giants teammate Willie McCovey, a fifth-series card.
Willie Howard Mays Jr. (1931-2024), the Say Hey Kid, played 23 major league seasons (1948 in the Negro American League, then 1951-1952 and 1954-1973), almost all of them in center field for the New York and San Francisco Giants. New York writers hung the nickname on him during his rookie year for the greeting he used in place of hello, though which writer coined it has been argued over ever since. Mays reached the Giants in 1951 out of the Negro American League's Birmingham Black Barons and won Rookie of the Year, then lost most of two seasons to the Army. He returned in 1954 to take the batting title at .345, the National League Most Valuable Player award and a World Series title, a year remembered for his over-the-shoulder catch of Vic Wertz's drive in Game One. He moved west with the club in 1958 and stayed a star for another decade and a half: a second MVP in 1965, four home run crowns, twelve consecutive Gold Gloves from 1957 through 1968 and 24 All-Star selections. He finished with 660 home runs, third in history when he retired, and 3,293 hits, and was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1979 on the first ballot with 94.7 percent of the vote.
