This effort, from 1972 which places itself near the end of Mays' career, is one of those literally priceless Scholastic efforts of which the only price to be found was within those little pamphlet-esque catalogs handed to schoolchildren. These sort of things existed to at least my experience in junior high though I wonder if they indeed exist in that form to this day. Replaced by official, product on site, book fairs, perhaps?
Anyway, I've written more here in introduction than I plan on exerting on the main point. Here, it is only funny that the emphasis on the title is on the baseball career of Mr. Mays as the text itself excludes any mention of a personal life beyond interactions with others affiliated with the diamond. And such it should be...our athletes entertain us with their repeated attacks on the limits of human prowess and so is my/our attention pointed except in the occasional interlude or indiscretion.
