Episode 35 -- John Shea

from Life Around The Seams Hosted by Josh Suchon

John Shea first approached Willie Mays about collaborating on a book 15 years ago. Why did it take so long to finish? “Are you saying I missed deadline?” Shea asks, with a laugh. Actually, Shea wanted to make sure the book wasn’t missing anything, and it was definitely worth the wait. On Episode 35 of the Life Around the Seams podcast, Shea details the 100-plus hours he spent with Mays in order to compile this book, “24: Life Stories and Lessons from the Say Hey Kid.” We also discuss the four US Presidents who shared their stories about Mays, the Hall of Famers, and hundreds more. After all, everyone has a Willie Mays story. What is yours?
