Autograph Of The Week : Willie Mays

On July 18, 1970, Willie Mays hit career hit number three-thousand. The historic shot was a second inning infield bouncer served up by Expos pitcher Mike Wegener into left field.

"I can't believe that Babe Ruth was a better player than Willie Mays. Ruth is to baseball what Arnold Palmer is to golf. He got the game moving. But I can't believe he could run as well as Mays, and I can't believe he was any better an outfielder." - Sandy Koufax
