I would love to hear from you, just send me text and let me know what you think of the podcast.Willie Mays had a lot of great days in his career but one of his best was April 30, 1961. His teammate and one of my old coaches Joey Amalfitano told me his first hand account of the day Willie Mays hit 4 home runs. Mays and Willie McCovey went out to dinner the night before and Mays came down with a nasty case of food poisoning. He knew he wouldn’t be able to play and took himself out of the game, but during batting practice Amalfitano asked him what percent he was feeling. Mays responded saying he felt about 70%. Amalfitano said, “70 percent of Willie Mays is still better than anybody else.”Amalfitano also gave Mays his bat to use which was a little lighter and Mays took batting practice and started launching balls into the seats. He decided to play and hit 4 homers in 5 at-bats and now Amalfitano’s bat is in the Hall of Fame to commemorate that day. Visit my website: saxinthemorning.com for merchandise and other links. Follow us on social media: Instagram: @saxinthemorning_podcastYouTube: subscribe and watch shorts here  Remember, Sax in the Morning swag is now available on my Instagram site.
