In honor of Willie Mays turning 79 today, the California State Senate issued a proclamation declaring him "the greatest baseball player ever." Politicians—always with the hyperbole . . . but Willie is definitely up there in the pantheon. Best thing about it? He still comes to the Giants clubhouse when they're at home, talks to the players, inspires them just by walking into the place. So say hey and happy birthday to the Say Hey Kid! Hope that proclamation is just the first of many kudos you receive today.
P.S. And yes, dear Susan, I do have a life, just writer's block . . .
