Willie Mays, often called “The Say Hey Kid,” is widely regarded as one of the greatest all-around players in baseball history. Born in 1931 in Alabama, he starred in Major League Baseball from 1951 to 1973, primarily with the New York and San Francisco Giants. Mays combined elite hitting, power, speed, and defense in a way few players ever have, finishing his career with 660 home runs and over 3,200 hits.

He is perhaps best remembered for “The Catch” in the 1954 World Series, a breathtaking over-the-shoulder grab that symbolized his defensive brilliance in center field. A 24-time All-Star, 12-time Gold Glove winner, and two-time National League MVP, Mays redefined what it meant to be a five-tool player. Beyond statistics, he played with joy, charisma, and creativity, helping popularize baseball during a pivotal era. His legacy endures as a standard of excellence and excitement in the game.

When I saw this glove, I was so excited to try to make probably the most unique wallet I have made to date! Both the green leather and the brown lacing was accented really well by the white stitching. I didn't know this at the time when I bought the thread, but it holds a secret... the thread glows in the dark!
