Willie Mays

It depends... Is it a rookie? What's it's condition? Is the card certified? What card number? Any Willie Mays card probably ranges within $3.00-$6,000.00.

In May 1972, the 41 year old Willie "Say Hey Kid" Mays was traded from the Giants to the Mets for pitcher Charlie Williams and $50,000 ($262,490 today). His first game playing for the Mets was on May 14th when he hit his second to last home run of his career (his 600th was on August 17, 1973). The final at bat of this baseball's great was in the 1973 World Series for the Mets.

I would think mostly baseball but I don't know?!

Bob Sheppard has been the public address announcer for the New York Yankees of Major League Baseball since 1951, and was for the New York Giants of the National Football League from 1956 to 2006. Since joining the Yankees, he has announced over 4,500 Major League Baseball games, and has worked 22 World Series. The first Yankee lineup Sheppard announced contained 5 future Hall of Famers: Joe DiMaggio, Mickey Mantle, Johnny Mize, Yogi Berra, and Phil Rizzuto. The Yankees played the Boston Red Sox that day, so Sheppard also introduced Ted Williams and Lou Boudreau, for a total of seven future Hall of Famers.

Willie Mays played 22 seasons in MLB: 1951-1952 and 1954-1971: New York/San Francisco Giants

An extremely awesome person otherwise known as Jayma Mays :)

There have probably been a myriad of plays in the world series, and shoestring catches even, but the one that you probably are thinking of was Billy Martin's shoestring catch with the bases loaded in the 1952 World Series. Martin was on the 1952 Yankees team that defeated the cross-town rival Brooklyn Dodgers. The Yanks were leading 4-2 in the seventh inning when manager Casey Stengel lifted Allie Reynolds out of the game and put in Vic Raschi, who almost immediately loaded the bases with only one out before Bob Kuzava came in to get out of the jam. The legendary Brooklyn Dodger Jackie Robinson lifted a short pop to the right side of the infield, but Yankee first baseman Joe Collins lost the ball in the sun and it was second baseman Billy Martin who made the shoestring catch to save at least one run. The phenomenal grab not only ended the chances of a Dodger comeback, but also inevitably sealed the Series victory for the defending champions. Despite their best efforts, "the Bums from Brooklyn" lived up to their nickname, as Kuzava remained in control the rest of the way. The loss was especially devastating after winning Games 1, 3 and 5 and the 4-2 triumph enabled Stengel to match Joe McCarthy's mark of managing a club to four consecutive World Series titles.
