* A “comic” review of Willie Mays

March 21, 2010

Bill Gallo, the veteran sports cartoonist for the New York Daily News, published this review/personal remembrance of Mays as per the Hircsh bio.

I used to collect his work — along with another DN cartoonist name of Bill(?) Stark — in one of my many scrapbooks. In 1969, as the Mets were marching towards the pennant, Stark did a series of “collectible” full-page caricatures. I still have a few of them, yellowing pieces of newsprint wrapped in plastic.

Gallo deems the new book “a nice piece of work and you can’t miss enjoying it.”
