Director Nelson George explores the life of baseball legend Willie Mays, widely regarded as one of the sport’s greatest players. Tracing his childhood in segregated Alabama and his time with the Negro League’s Birmingham Black Barons, the film charts Mays’s storied career – from his meteoric rise in Major League Baseball with the New York Giants to his reign in San Francisco following the league’s expansion to the West Coast and his final seasons with the Mets. The film also examines Mays’s role in the social and cultural movements of the time and his close relationship with his godson Barry Bonds. Featuring interviews with Mays, Bonds, Hall of Famers Reggie Jackson, Juan Marichal, Orlando Cepeda, and Emmy Award-winning broadcaster Bob Costas, “Say Hey, Willie Mays!” serves as a moving chronicle of an athlete who left an indelible mark on the game of baseball – and the nation.
