At the cache site you will find a statue honoring Willie Mays, who some consider to be the greatest all-around player in the history of baseball. Willie Mays is a native of nearby Fairfield, Alabama. At the age of 17, Mays began his professional baseball career as the center fielder for the Birmingham Black Barons (1948-1949). Mays helped lead the Black Barons to an appearance in the Negro League World Series. Mays left Birmingham before the 1950 season when his contract was purchased by the New York Giants. During his career, Mays hit 660 home runs, 2,062 runs scored, and earned 12 Gold Gloves for fielding excellence. He was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1979.
