Say Hey t-shirt
Upper Playground tribute a baseball legend with this hand drawn print of the great Willie Mays. Nicknamed "The Say Hey Kid", Mays was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1979, his first year of eligibility. Many consider him to be the greatest all-around player of all time. It is not clear how Mays became known as the "Say Hey Kid". One story is that in 1951, Barney Kremenko, a writer for the New York Journal, having overheard Mays blurt "'Say who,' 'Say what,' 'Say where,' 'Say hey,'" proceeded to refer to Mays as the 'Say Hey Kid'. The back print of the t-shirt features Mays' jersey number '24'... which also happens to be his record number of all-star appearances... "SAY HEY HEY!" by Upper Playground
