HELP ME FOR GODS SAKE Later the doctors would use these words to
decipher the riddle of a perverted killer. Right now, the lipstick
scrawl signaled the start of New York's greatest manhunt.
This twenty-fifth anniversary edition of Willie's Time: Baseball's
Golden Age restores to print Charles Einstein's vivid biography of
one of baseball's foremost legends. With a new preface from the
author, this volume replays the most dramatic moments of the Say
Hey Kid's career - from the 1951 Miracle Giants to the Amazing Mets
of 1973 - and takes us inside the lives of Ruth, DiMaggio, Aaron,
Durocher, and others along the way. Einstein offers a compelling
and complete look at Mays: as a youth in racist Birmingham, a
triumphant symbol of African American success, a sports hero
lionized by fans, and yet all the while, still a very human figure
destined to play for two decades amid baseball's Golden Age. First
published in 1979, Willie's Time was a finalist for both the
Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award.
