10:05 pm
forever. i just had fun and enjoyed it. >> for more now on willie mays, we are joined by our jason appelbaum. you know willie mays, his name is just synonymous with baseball. i think when the news broke of his passing, it stunned a lot of people. >> it certainly shocked me. and it's, you know, two days before the historic game was going to be played at or will be played at rickwood field, really to honor him and others from the leagues. but yeah, beyond the numbers, which were obviously hall of fame worthy. i mean, willie mays played with such a joy and a passion that, you know, brought in so many fans that wouldn't otherwise have been baseball fans. you know, he he it's kind of cliched when you say this, when someone transcends the game. but he really did transcend the game. the way he played epitomized the joy of the game of baseball. and, you know, in his early days in the 1950s, early 1950s, when he broke in with the new york
10:06 pm
giants for the home games there, he would go out on the streets and he would play stickball with the kids, you know, a couple nights a week. you don't see that anymore. buy him ice cream and a game, you know. you know, you don't see that, but yeah, when the news came in today, you know, it was one of those like, oh my gosh, you know, this is, this is something that, you know, he will never be forgotten, for baseball fans, because what he did for this sport, you know, i think is second to none really. >> and, you know, i was sitting at my desk tonight watching a lot of the former giants, more recent giants talk about willie mays. and they loved his presence in the clubhouse that he would just sometimes watch video, sometimes say a quote or two. and j.t. snow, i was watching the former giants first baseman said one of his favorite willie mays quotes was to go practice like a pro and to go play like a kid, you know? so you work and work and practice and then just enjoy the game. yeah, you know, and that's what
10:07 pm
he did out there that that youthful exuberance. >> right? i mean, we just said that you saw that in him, right? >> playing like a kid. >> yeah i mean that's how that's how he played. and i and i really think that, you know, i was again, i was trying to think about how you would relate that to maybe a modern day athlete here in the bay area. and you know, in some ways, steph curry is a genius with the basketball and his stats. i mean, he breaks all these three point records and but the way he plays with such joy and passion is the way willie mays played. and i think that's what people remember. he had some swagger. you know he had a smile on his face. yeah. that smile he he he'd make this catch to win the game. and, and you know and you know he he'd have a smile on his face. you know, when he really touched the lives of millions of americans. >> he's an iconic figure. he's a giants legend. talk about the significance of the game at rickwood field coming up on thursday night when the giants play the cardinals, it was supposed to be a celebration, but i really think now it's

10:36 pm
work five days in. we called the steel mill in birmingham and done the weekend. he would, you know, go from birmingham to detroit on the pullman porter, which is a train, and earn a little money there and come back on sunday night, go to work on monday. but he would teach me as he come home to different things about, you know, sports and i think i learned it from him, from my mother, my, my uncle was his name was otis. otis brooks young willie mays grew up on one of those hot, dusty streets of alabama, went to school and played baseball from an early age, falling in love with the game at the age of five. my father used to roll the ball on the floor to me, and i would try and hit, you know, the ball would, you know, kind of broom hall and different things like that. but my whole family came through a baseball family. my mother, you know, ran track. my father played baseball. i had an uncle that played basketball, football, baseball. so i was really thrown into it. and, you know, as soon as i was born. so
10:37 pm
at an early age, i knew what baseball was all about. you know, at age 17, while still in high school, mays earned a spot on the birmingham black barons and all black team. >> prohibited from competing against white athletes for years, mays only played in home games that allowed him to continue playing high school football, even playing part time in his only season with the black barons, he helped lead them to the american league championship in 1948. one day new york giants scout eddie montague came down to rickwood field to check out another player, alonzo perry, but his eyes were quickly drawn to mays, whom he would later call the greatest young ballplayer he had ever seen in his life. >> he say he saw me out on, you know, on the field, throwing and running, and he recommended me to boston at the time. and i think boston wasn't taking, african-american at that time. so they didn't take me. so he
10:38 pm
quit. he went to the giants, and he called mr. stoneham, and i guess he hired me right away. so that's really how i think i got to the giants. >> it would be the find of a lifetime, and it didn't cost the giants much. >> i think it was about 15,000 involved. i think the ball club got five and i think i got ten, either may have been five. i know we bought a house. i bought a 1950 mercury. i couldn't drive, but i bought it anyway. so all the neighborhood people could drive it around. so i think it was more of 5 or 6 around there, but that was a lot of money in those days. you know, the car that i bought cost $2,000. so the house i paid off cost me another, you know, one. so i was okay with the money. >> the year was 1950, one year later with the giants, mays would be named national league rookie of the year and his hall of fame career was off and running. but it all started at rickwood field, home of the birmingham black barons and the birthplace of willie mays.

10:50 pm
not happened as of yet. discussions are still underway at this moment. >> a nice day today. temperatures a little warmer than they were yesterday. temperatures tomorrow will be cooler than they were. actually a little cooler today and a little cooler tomorrow. pardon me. it's going to be cooler tomorrow by a good 4 or 5 degrees. so these are the temperatures from today. so subtract 5 to 8 degrees or something. maybe even ten degrees from these temperatures. the hot spots are going to be mid and low 80s. it's going to be a nice day. fog returns. so you'll see that at the coast this low pressure to the north is the reason for the red flag warnings. the last couple of days. it is now moving off. and as it moves off and kind of weekend, it's going to create the fog and low clouds of the coast and keep us in a semi mild pattern. so the cooling tomorrow looks like this 89 and then down to 81. so there's eight degrees cooler in santa rosa. it's ten degrees cooler in san mateo. so that low is doing its thing. it just by its proximity, by being close to us, it drops temperatures. and it doesn't hurt that the fog is going to
10:51 pm
reform and come back again. probably, probably by at least tomorrow afternoon. temperatures to today, temperatures tomorrow. and then they kind of climb out of here. it doesn't get horribly hot. saturday is the warmest day. we'll get some mid 90s, but it's not a heat wave or anything. and then temperatures kind of drop down on sunday. so a nice week ahead. it's been a pretty, pretty good pattern for us. again, the fire danger, the red flag warnings have been dropped. air quality. they're issuing a spare the air day again for tomorrow because of smoke from a lot of the smoke is coming from the umms site. fire up around colusa. but certainly some of the smoke is coming from the point. fire as well. so coming coming down from the north, the current temperatures mid 60s. it's kind of mild. 70 in brentwood, 60 in livermore, 60 in novato, 16 degrees cooler in novato. so that's your sea breeze kicking in 11 degrees cooler in palo alto than last night. at this time. there's the low right there. and it's really hard to see this time of year when you get into the summer

months. the jet stream gets further north and that's where all the activity is. the things that happen down this way, down where we are at our latitude are subtle changes like the fog. so here's tomorrow morning. the model says fog back burns off. slow temperature footprint looks like this. that's pretty. that's pretty mild. fire danger is always high. let's just face it. we should have a fire weather alert for the entire summer. as far as i'm concerned, we don't have any alerts tomorrow. but it's even though it's cool, mild, it's still a high fire danger. just in my mind, because it's california and hasn't rained in a while, and it's not going to rain for a while there. the forecast highs for the next few days. solstice comes up on thursday. the warmest day of the week is going to be on saturday, probably mid 90s. >> all right, bill, thank you. san francisco city leaders are proposing turning a stretch of the grade highway into an oceanfront park. members of the san francisco board of supervisors submitted a ballot measure that would make permanent a pilot program that made a two mile stretch of the highway into a flat promenade. and that stretch of highway goes
