Willie was 88 here and he is sharp as a freaking tack!
He didn't do a video message when the Mets retired his number today. Hope he's doing good. He's 91 now.
Willie Mays was and still is the Greatest Baseball Player Ever . Willie is The Goat
Willy Mays, 89 yrs old today
The best EVER
Absolutely
Yep
90 now
He's Gone.
I was at Shea Stadium on 4/3/1973 when Willie drove in the winning run in the bottom of the 9th to beat the Phillies 3-2. There were less than 20,000 fans there but it sounded like the Mets had won the World Series. One of my top baseball memories.
Cheers, Willie. You'll always be remembered in New York.
I was at that game also. I was 10. Dad took me to my first game. Asked me if I wanted to go to a game. I wasn’t sure I could sit for a WHOLE game. He said “let’s see.” What are the odds dad takes me to my first game and my favorite player hits the game winning rbi? The date was Saturday April 7, 1973 though.
Willie Mays could do EVERYTHING in baseball...not just good and competent, he did it all GREAT.
His baserunning wasn't great. Just good. Everything else was great.
@@treygray2817
Fair enough. He did have a funny way of running, the way he moved his hips.
My first game of Major League Baseball was 1957 at the Polo Grounds to see Willie Mays. He is still, by far, the greatest ball player I’ve ever seen.♥️
That’s awesome. Would have loved to see the Polo Grounds.
Jim Brewer did such an awesome interviewing the incomparable "Say Hey Kid" Willie Mays!
I still love that 1973 NY Mets team. When Willie came off the bench in Game 5 of the NLCS to drive in the run with a Baltimore Chop against Cincinnati, it was magical.
It's too bad Willie's coaching career with the Mets was prematurely terminated. He left in 1979, but in 1980 the Mets drafted a kid named Darryl Strawberry. Who knows how things might have been if he had Willie Mays as an influence in his early years.
Such great stuff. Willie Mays is the GOAT. The most complete player in history.
Willie was and is my Hero from the time I was 11, I am 66 now.
Willie Mays is a gift from God, placed here to inspire us as to what is possible.
Not just the most awe inspiring athlete but the singularly most beloved, universally embraced human being of the 20th century.
I just had one of those YT wormhole moments where I typed in "Willie Mays interview" and I found this. What an awesome 16 minutes. I am 61 and I grew up for my first few years near San Francisco and then my family moved to NYC. Willie was always my idol and when he was traded to the Mets in '72 I was overjoyed. At age 11, we went to Shea and watched a few games and it is one of my all time greatest childhood memories.
I own a personalized baseball he signed in 1970 and it sits on my desk. He is a fantastic human being and this interview shows his great passion, heart, and brains. He is a gift. I'm so glad to see him here at 88. He is now 91, and I wonder if there is more recent interviews. (I shall now go look for them).
Love ya, Say Hey Kid.
Jim Jim Jim... Can you at least google the team if you insist on getting so involved. Willie came here in 1972. They were not a bad team. In '73 they were bad because everyone got hurt and they ripped off a bunch of last minute wins when the got healthy. 🙄
Willie is a major part of New York baseball... He's as much part of baseball culture in NY as Babe Ruth is... Most naturally gifted ball player of all time.
Incredible; Jim must’ve had chills.
Yes he’d been under the wether that week for sure. But thank you
He looks and sounds great!!! Great ballplayer!
A more complete ballplayer than Willie has never stepped onto a MLB diamond.
Easily the greatest living ballplayer and can make the case for him being the best ever.
Jim Breuer often looks like he's drunk or 'on drugs'... but he's NOT drunk or on drugs... ;D
- GREAT INTERVIEW, JIMMY !! WILLIE MAYS # 1 !!!! LGM !!
Greatest all-around player ever! I remember when Willie came to the Mets. He was always tremendously popular in New York, and always got the loudest cheers whenever he was introduced. I'm glad the Mets finally decided to retire his number 24. I always felt they should either retire it or put it back in circulation.
The say hey kid turning 90 this May. GREATEST living player.
No Sir he is the greatest player ever, dead or alive
We love you Willie ! My favorite baseball player of all time .. hung Mays poster in my room for many years.
Wow great interview love Willie Mays the greatest all around player of all time still sharp as tack love it when he said about the fight between Pete Rose & Bud Harrelson (THAT WASN'T NO FIGHT THEY JUST HUGGING GRABBING EACH OTHER & I TOLD THE BOTH CUT IT AND PLAY BALL LOL I LOVE IT........AND CALLED TOM SEAVER SPANKY LOL I LOVE IT) God bless Say Hey Kid ❤
one of the true greats and what a wonderful attitude, you are the best Say Hey kid
I saw him hit homer #638.
My goodness, talking about the the great Tug... Talking bout these games like yesterday. I was in NY from 76 to 78. then to LA. when Steve Garvey was my hero.
Thank you for helping the Mets Willie :)
1970. Shea Stadium. It’s a week after my 7th Birthday and my dad has tickets to my first ever ballgame. It’s as big for him as it was me because his beloved Willie Mays is playing in New York again, like when he was kid. The Mets, of course, are coming off 1969 and a World Series upset over the great Baltimore Orioles. As I remember, Shea was packed. And since the Mets are defending champions, everyone wanted the Mets. Except ... for my dad and another guy sitting about 20 seats over and 5 rows up. I remember, Willie Mays, who my dad ALWAYS told me the greatest all-around player in baseball history, cracks a home run. The place goes quiet. But my dad and the other Mays’ fan are on their feet, cheering like nuts, yelling to each other about how great this is. Many fans were annoyed, I’m sure, but 50 years ago you could express differences in opinion and not get physically attacked. I thought we were going to be killed, but it didn’t work like that. End of the game and the Giants won in blowout. We’re leaving and so many older guys would come up to my dad and say, “you know, I wanted to cheer, too, but I didn’t want to upset anyone, so good job!” And I realized that A LOT more than 2 fans of Mays/Giants were in attendance. It really just seemed like it was 2 in the mind of a seven-year old boy, clearly I was mistaken. So, my first game ever I get to see the legacy Willie Mays hit a homer and, more importantly, I get to see my dad show me that a man stands up for his beliefs. Even if 50,000 other people disagree. It was fantastic and one of my most cherished memories.
Retire NY Mets #24!
I understand this guy Mays was pretty good.
This man is a true treasure in sports
The first Baseball player with SWAG....The best there ever was....
I wish Willie Mays had a podcast. Just put some mics and cameras around him and some old time ball players visiting each other once or twice a month.
Breuer always looks like he hasn't slept in a week
JESUS FREAKIN CHRIST.......WHAT A NICE MAN WILLIE IS......AND WHAT A FUCKIN (enormous talent). What a SCARRY SCARRY wonderful human.GOD SENT HIS ANGEL ......WHEN WILLIE WAS BORN.......WHATS FREAKIN WEIRD issssss.......that there is not ONE reel on TH-cam that shows all his great and fantastic catches...........there is only one video that shows.......the 1954 REDICULOUS great catch and the 1974 candlestick Park great catch........NO OTHER FREAKIN REEL of all his great and fantastic catches........AINT THAT AS WEIRD.......AS TRUMP IS PRESIDENT??????
"scarry", "rediculous"
What is truly, 'scary' and 'ridiculous' is your grasp(or lack thereof) of the English Language.
Great catch at Candlestick in 1974? Maybe if he was fishing off the pier. He retired in 1973.
I love Willie. The greatest all time player.
How could you not love Willie
Ode to Sir Willie Mays spelling out his name:
"Willie Mays, SIR to all of us.
I, like many looked up to you with pride.
Love you immensely for the road you paved for us of a brown hue.
Lasting memories are going to be our tapestry of you.
"I so admire Sir Mays" are utterances in many a head now and beyond.
Excellence in being is what you are with a resounding AMEN.
May your family turn to god for inner strength.
Anything is possible as God has shown you.
Your breath of sustainable achievements will be forever lasting.
So Sir, I write this to bid you farewell to enjoy eternal rest."

Willie Mays, one man and ball player where when he starts talking you shut up and listen!! Love ya Say Hey
Let's go mets! You gotta believe!
Willie said, look what the game did for me. NO SIR! Look at what you did for the game 💛
Willie mays is a baseball player
maybe the best all around player ever
1973 in South GA, I was 7, I go outside to meet the mailman that is driving up..and he asks me who I thought was going to win the WS...I said the Mets...he asked why and I said because Willie Mays is my favorite player. .He was my favorite then and still is today. Happy belated 90th Mr Mays...the one and only Say Hey Kid!
Hey South Georgia
. when I was 14 years old, I played little league baseball. My number was 24. You no one could tell me that I wasn't Willie Mays.
Willie did not go to left field and single handedly stop fans from throwing stuff at Rose after Berra failed. Berra, Seaver, Staub, Cleon Jones, and Mays went as a group and were successful in persuading the fans to behave.
An American national treasure .I'm English the first time I heard his name was in the Major league movie because of Wesley snipes character .Baseball coverage over here was non existent apart from a few baseball movies that were shown on Tv ..I was intrigued so started to research him ....mind was blown at his career The new Documentary about him is brilliant .What a great bloke as we say in England .😊
Middle name my name . My birthday his. My baseball idol forever. Love you Mays!
Crazy how lucid a nearly 90 year old person can be. Really impressive.
That YAWN at the beginning from Willie Mays though already SOOOO OLD and tired of the same questions of over and over again
Jim "Goat Boy" Breuer. Willie Mays. I instantly click. R.I.P.
wow what a pleasure you had to interview the great Willie Mays.
The NY Mets just retired his number a few days ago. #LFGM
This is the greatest interview I've seen of the greatest ballplayer I ever saw
The greatest 5 tool ballplayer, hands down.
Best player alive. 6 tools player.# 6 very smart and humble.
RIP To "Arguably" The Greatest
wow i love this about willie mays
He was the best player I ever watched play, and that goes back a long way. He and Mantle, Berra, Musial, Kaline, Yaz, and Aaron were amongst the first players I followed as a kid. Mr. Mays had few limits on a baseball field! Just remarkable.
Wow what an honor to have interviewed him. Legend
RIP, This was a great interview
I was 11 when Willie joined The Mets. I was as happy as Jims' father, ecstatic. My baseball hero was on The Mets. I agree that MLB should retire #24 and give Willie his due rewards.
A game at Shea was probably the most quite relaxing stadium you’ll ever be in that has jets taking off and landing every five minutes right next to it! 🙄
the best in the live ball era.
RIP Willie Mays! The most COMPLETE player I ever saw!!
The Living Legend himself
I saw the interviewer's name and I said what is this Jim Breuer of the Dodgers that pitched in the 70s!!!
RIP 'Say Hey Kid' 😥
Interviewer is a bit patronizing and doesn't realize WM is not avg 88 yr old
Willie Mays All Time Great doesn't pay him justice.
Rip Willie legend.
You'd think Jim would be interviewing a Brewer.
Great interview!
G.O.A.T.
⚾️⚾️⚾️⚾️
Can you sub to my channe
RIP Sir
GOAT
Great interview. What a delightful man Willie is. Awesome that he's still with us.
wow what a treat! my fav player!
What a gentleman
When my Grandpa immigrated to NYC in the late 40s , he became a Giants fan and a huge Willie Mays fan. When they left NY, he became a Mets fan but was even more thrilled that Mays had returned to our wonderful city this time as a Met. I own a NY Giants Willie Mays jersey thanks to the great stories my grandpa shared with me when he went to those games.
I was 8 years old during the 73 World Series and will never forget that play at the plate and Willie's chop RBI single. I made my own Willie Mays Met's Road Jersey (I like the grey with the New York across the front) and I wear it whenever I go to Citifield,. I always get compliments from people.....every time. He is the best!
Riccardino d 👍🏽 nice. I agree, the road Mets jerseys with the classic New York across are just the best I think. At this point I only wish they’d change the home blues and put the interlocking NY instead of the orange and white Mets script. I have a Mets collection video on my page so please check that out.

Sorry but I’ve left MLB. I just cannot support a political organization which is counter to my interests.
He was just awful with the Mets I would try to forget my met days if I were him !
I live in Birmingham, and Rickwood Field is the oldest continually running ballpark in the United States. The Birmingham Barons, the AA affiliate to the White Sox still play some of their games there.
Nice little park. Been there
I used to go there all the time when I was a kid. The AA affiliate of the White Sox, the Birmingham Barons played all of their home games there up until the late 80’s... then they built them a new stadium. It’s awesome. If you ever get a chance, visit it. It was the home of the Birmingham Black Barons of the Negro League back in the early 1900’s.
