My Secrets of Playing Baseball by Willie Mays with Howard Lies. Few played the game better. Mays discusses his techniques and uses filmed sequences to better illustrate those techniques.

Book is a review copy with material from the publisher laid in. Jacket is good, showing chips and wear throughout. Book is very good, showing some discoloration to cover, but quite clean and bright throughout.

Description:
New York: Harry M. Stevens, Inc. Publisher, 1941. Dated in pencil front cover July 24. SIGNED in pencil front cover by Yankess 1st baseman John Sturm, and SIGNED in pencil rear cover by Cleveland Indians center fielder Roy "Stormy" Weatherly. Original printed stapled wrappers with 10 pp. ads and 2 pp. score card. Score card marked in pencil through 2nd inning. Very Good, upper corner rear cover soiled. John Sturm's big league baseball career lasted only one season, with the World Series-winning New York Yankees. He entered the Yankees starting lineup May 15, the same day Joe DiMaggio began his 56 game hitting streak, and his steady play at 1st and as lead-off batter helped to steady a struggling Yankees team. Later that year he became the first married player to enter military service for WWII. Due to an injury suffered during his service and later injuries playing ball, he never made back into another big league game.

Description:
New York: Harry M. Stevens, Inc. Publisher, 1944. Original printed stapled wrappers with 8 pp. ads and 2 pp. score card, the score card unmarked. SIGNED in pencil rear cover by Boston Braves infielder Max Macon, and SIGNED on a torn sheet of ruled paper laid in by Braves center fielder Tommy Holmes. Very Good, the WWII era paper uniformly browned, small edge tear, light soiling rear cover. Tommy Holmes was one of the most popular performers in Boston baseball history, a .302 lifetime hitter who set a then-National League record with a 37-game hitting streak in 1945. Max Macon spent most of his big league career as a pitcher, but in 1944 was the Braves starting first baseman for the first three months of the season. Since he was not listed as the starter on the score card for this game, that makes this games card an August or September 1944 game. . SIGNED. First Printing. Stapled Wrappers. Very Good/No Jacket, As Issued. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
