Willie could FLY around those bases. Loved watching him when I was a kid.
This is my cousin! 🎉🤍
I grew up a Royals fan as a kid. I got to watch the man in person numerous times. They called him the Road Runner back in the day. One of my favorites.
Thanks for your feedback. A true party starter who could swing it from both sides.
He had 21 triples in 1985.. truly truly insane!
Another time indeed. Totally different approach to hitting and insane speed.
First , i grew up watching Willie Wilson and he was electric. Great player on some really good teams. Second, if i did as much cocaine as Willie i probably would have ran fast too.
Good stuff sir... One of my favs growing up
Thanks for your feedback !
Royal fan here! He was my favorite even over George Brett! I'd emulate his batting stance and even tried to be a switch hitter as well....
Great player!
I purchased a his book today for the thrift store with his autograph in it
