Once Chub Feeney became NL prexy the Giants fell apart. The ultimate for me was trading Gaylord for a known dissolute drunk. Perry went on to win two Cy Youngs, the M Boys helped carry the Phillies to their first WS title and Kingman went on to hit 400 more home runs.
Tell your wife that Mays was a most difficult person to work with when I was with the Giants. Trumped of course by the sub human Barry Bonds.
I heard horror stories about Mays, and Glenn Dickey couldn't stand him. I got to know Ken Henderson (LF) a bit and he said that he and Mays always got along really well.
