Before he was the 'Say Hey Kid' and before he was ranked as quite possibly the greatest baseball player who ever lived, Willie Mays was a young minor leaguer with the Minneapolis Millers trying to make a big league roster! The offered photo captures Willie in uniform with the Millers and he is congratulating Tookie Gilbert as he crosses home plate. This is a rare image that predates his rookie cards that is being offered here for the first time ever!
