Willie Mays and Willie McCovey played for many years together.. from 1959 until 1972 when Mays was traded to the New York Mets.
Willie Mays, outfielder for the New York Giants was Rookie of the year in 1951.
It was at my school! I think I was in 7th or 8th grade sooo hmmm like 1979 or 1980.
Mays began his Major League career in 1951 with the New York Giants and retired after the 1973 season with the New York Mets.
When he was called up to play for the New York Giants in May 1951, the 20-year-old Mays was afraid of failure. He struggled during his first weeks with the team and then tearfully asked manager Leo Durocher to send him back to the minors. Durocher comforted Mays and persuaded him that he would play center field for the Giants for as long as Durocher was there. The rest is history.
