I've Got the Willies

First Willie that comes to mind?  Gotta be The Say Hey Kid. 

1967 Topps #200 Willie Mays
1960 Topps #316 Willie McCovey
1971 Topps #230 Willie Stargell
1968 Topps #208 Willie Davis
1968 Topps #360 Willie Horton
1984 Topps #310 Willie McGee
1985 O-Pee-Chee #6 Willie Wilson
1988 Donruss #108 Willie Randolph
1994 American Archives Origins of Baseball #81 Willie Keeler 
2008 Upper Deck Hockey Masterpieces #73 Willie O'Ree
1971 Topps Football #114 Willie Lanier
There are two more notable Willies that I don't have cards of, Willie Davis and Willie Wood. Both men played for the Green Bay Packers and both are in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

    That's a lot of Willies. It would have been interesting to see how many I could have named. I recognize everyone in this post, but I'm pretty sure I would have missed at least a few of them. That being said... I did think of one more football player: Willie Gault.

      Fumble! I need to watch me some 85 Bears highlights, especially after yesterday's sad debacle. Thanks Fuji.

    Do you keep all of your Willie's together? A page of Willie's?

      No the Willies have their various homes. Nice that at least half were previously scanned.

    Also Willie Montanez.

    And the Giants had a cornerback in the 1970s with the unimaginative name of Willie Williams.

    Hey. Somebody entered you in a give-away on my blog and you won a PWE of cards.

    Can you send me your mailing address please? And which sport do you want - Football's probably strongest, followed by baseball, then basketball and hockey.
