watch this video of Willie Mays and pay attention to his hitting mechanics and his swing and followthrough, where he puts the bat head on the ground (not his batting practice swing). Then go back and watch Juan Uribe's HR swing last night. I'm not saying Uribe is Mays. I 'm just saying I was struck by the great similarity. I knew Uribe's swing reminded me of someone, but it wasn't until last night that I realized who it was.

That's the only way to play stickball!

i thought of mays the other day too
but it was on torres’ catch in cf where he ran 50 yards and threw in to keep ramirez or whoever it was at first…
That Mays guy could run tolerably well.
Utter frustration and futility.

Man, I love watching him run. He was already at second by the time the catcher started throwing to the base in that one clip.
