Did Willie Mays Snub Josh Hamilton?

Willie Mays snubs everybody. He snubbed me in 1993 when I tried to interview him. Looked at me with a "who the fuck are you, kid?" look. Luckily, Pete Rose gave me a few betting tips minutes to chat.

 

You had it coming, though.

 

Willie Mays has been an arrogant, angry fuck for many, many years.

In addition to falling down in the outfield, his contribution to the '73 Mets included telling young black players like Jones and Mlner not to talk to the media because they were all out to "get" the players.

 

From some of the interviews that I've read in recent years I think that Willie is deaf and blind like a fox.

 

Here's that SI story from last week.

I've watched that video, or at least the first part, 15 times now.

 

and??

 

This is why I love Lester. Always a great line. Never, ever change that avatar. With each of your posts, I see Philip Seymour Hoffman reading them aloud, in character.

 

Oh, I haven't watched the part with Willie Mays.

 

Oh I get it - your checking out Phyllis

 

Is that who that was? She work for Fox? Clearly some players did not want her to touch them.

As for Mays, I had a Rawlings autograph model back when, and I started making all my "Ws" with the little curley-Q Mays did.

 

All I see is Josh Hamilton's thighs and chest.
