Amazing Tribute to the Legacy of Mays

If you have ever listened to Bob Kendrick speak you will know he is an absolute wonderful storyteller. Bob hosts another episode of Black Diamonds describing the legacy of the late and great Willie Mays. Hearing Bob talk about the Say Hey Kid was a joy.

If you're a casual baseball fan you will enjoy listening to Bob talk about Mays.
