Willie Monologue

“They throw the ball I hit it. They hit the ball I catch it.” By Willie Mays.I won’t tell you every crook and cranny of Willie’s life story but I am going to tell you some things that I’ve found are the most interesting about him and his career, for example his parents and his mentors and achievements.You may or may not know who he person is but let me tell you he is a role model for many to-be baseball players and in fact he has even been in the Hall of Fame.
