SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Three of the new Giants coaches walked down a clubhouse hallway over the weekend and stopped in their tracks as they approached an old Don and Charlie's booth that has been tucked in under a staircase. Willie Mays was sitting at the table, eating breakfast and laughing as he told stories.
"That's Willie," one of the coaches whispered as he stood and watched the legend chat with a team employee.
Mays' first visit to camp always brings a little energy, but there was an added dimension this year. The Giants have so many newcomers who have not yet met Mays, and many of them have been looking forward to getting their chance for months.
