May your soul rest in peace Willie Mays. Watching you play was one of the highlights of my childhood. As amazing as it may sound to today's young, athletes used to have off-season jobs and jobs after their careers ended. Willie Mays worked as a greeter in a casino, a far cry from being the best centerfielder at ever play the game.
I shook his hand and said: " I saw you play Mr. Mays, you were amazing". He said, "thank you young man, but always remember that all work is honorable". I still use that line some 45 years later in my job.
