Willie Mays returned to New York from San Francisco and his beloved Giants in May of ’72, and it was certainly a sort of homecoming, as the twice-MVP who was a legend at the Polo Grounds could now be a legend at Shea. He only spent a season and a half with the Mets, but he ended his career nicely with an appearance in the 1973 All-Star Game and World Series (in which the Mets lost in seven games). Mays is widely considered to be one of the best all-around players ever, and his Shea locker has a shrine quality to it, as it was his last. Here is offered the The Say Hey Kid’’s immortal locker from Shea Stadium. An all-wood structure, measuring 43”x43”x 7ft. tall, painted white on the inside and crudely green on the outside. Inside there are 12 plastic hooks, an iron cross pole, four small compartments under a wider space on top, and a bench whose seat is a clasped cover for the storage space underneath. Side walls have large metal mesh ventilation section. Interior's white ceiling has some heavy peeling, revealing the original green paint underneath. Front has black trim, lots of chipped paint, and a space where nameplate used to be.
