Willie Mays began his professional Baseball career in the Negro Leagues in 1948, playing for the Birmingham Black Barons. He played in the league for a brief period before signing with the New York Giants in 1950, marking the beginning of his Major League Baseball career. Mays's time in the Negro Leagues was significant, as it showcased his exceptional talent before the integration of baseball.
