HERE IS WHAT OTHER METS FANS HAVE TO SAY:

Jim Snedeker

Charlie Williams is a name that should be revered by baseball fans everywhere. Once during 1951, Willie Mays' rookie year, Giant manager Leo Durocher proclaimed "I wouldn't trade Willie Mays for any player in baseball!"

Durocher was one of the greatest managers in the game, and Mays clearly was one of the best to ever play the game. Even in his twilight years, he was still a threat. But for some strange reason, Horace Stoneham decided another relief pitcher was more important to him than having Mays play out his last years in a Giant uniform.

And thus, 20 years after Durocher's emotional quip, Charlie Williams became the only player in history to be traded for Willie Mays.
