The classic Willie Mays smile and camaraderie with teammates extended to one glorious winter in Puerto Rico, when he played for the Santurce Cangrejeros in the island's winter league and -- playing next to Roberto Clemente in the outfield -- led the team to the championship with a league-best .395 average, 12 homers, 34 RBIs and 10 stolen bases. In this rare 8 x10, the Say Hey Kid poses between two slightly awestruck teammates, their arms wrapped around his shoulders. Seeing Willie in that "Sand Crabber" uniform is always a treat. EX+.
