From the ”Putnam sport shelf: Mays sees his 1st major league game:
"Willie got his biggest thrill watching the great Ted Williams in action.
He saw "The Thumper" stride to the plate with confidence, wait for the pitch he wanted, then with a mighty cut, drive the ball out of the park.
Williams had a style of his own, a touch of perfection to everything he did.
This was the kind of player Willie wanted to be.  He would settle for nothing less."
