Interesting.

Here’s a coincidental sports/ivy tidbit; Willie Mays also got an honorary degree from Dartmouth a couple of weeks ago.

Wonder who will be next?

One of my favorite stories about Willie Mays is this:
Soon after he was elected into the Hall, he was asked who was the greatest player he had ever seen play the game.

His response:
"I don't mean to be bashful, but I was."
