The Say Hey Kid is 84 today. Let us celebrate him by deciding which game we would go back in time to watch.
Happy birthday, Willie Mays! The best all-around player in baseball history is 84, which means it's time to reminisce and appreciate is brilliance. It also means it's time for anyone under the age of 50 to complain about not getting to watch him.
Mays is the ultimate time-machine player, and I don't think that's especially controversial. Forget Babe Ruth. Forget Walter Johnson. Forget Ty Cobb. I would use my time machine to watch Willie Mays play baseball, and I wouldn't need a moment to think about it.
