Notes

  • My favorite work on Mays is James Hirsch's glorious biography, Willie Mays: The Life, the Legend. I also recommend John Klima's Willie's Boys, about the Black Baron's 1948 season.
  • If you're looking to get more context for the city during those years, I'd recommend Diane McWhorter's history, Carry Me Home.
