Willie Dean McGee, one of seven children, grew up in a devoutly religious household. His father Hurdice was both a machinist at the Oakland Naval Yards and a deacon in the Pentecostal church. Hurdice did not want his son to play any organized sports on Sundays, so McGee slipped out of the house on Sunday afternoons to pursue his passion for sports. Much later, McGee learned that his father knew that he was sneaking out to play baseball, but decided to let him go on anyway.

Quote
  • I don't know if anyone has ever played a better World Series game than Willie. If he doesn't make that catch in the ninth, Mr. Sutter's in trouble.
  • He looks like he doesn't have a friend in the world. Meanwhile, all the world is his friend.
