Say Hey, Willie Mays!

Willie Mays was arguably the most complete baseball player of all time and this documentary provides ample evidence of his exploits while also delving into his personal life and behind the scenes challenges. This does a great job of weaving interviews with archival footage. It is exciting to be able to watch his flawless stroke of the bat and his amazing fielding ability once again. The only flaws in this doc are the failure to mention Oscar Charelston, who was Willie Mays three decades earlier and who Willie owed his style, especially the famed "basket catch".

Also, the film shows the strong personal relationship between Willie and Barry Bonds but never mentions steroids. Willie leads the call to let Bonds into the Hall of Fame, which is odd for someone who always exemplified class and a respect for the game but understandable given their close personal bond (ha).
