🐢 ONE BIG THING
🔼 Honoring The Past. May 6, 2021, was the day LaMonte Wade Jr. officially made it.
Despite the first-baseman accomplishing his life-long dream of playing in MLB two years prior, the outfielder was afforded one of the most memorable moments of his life. Just a few months before it occurred, he was traded to the San Francisco Giants by the Minnesota Twins.
Going from one franchise to the next meant Wade would spend the near future meeting brand-new teammates, staff members and others close to the team. Still, he was pleasantly surprised when the Giants’ public relations manager told him someone special wanted to meet him. That person wasn’t just anybody. It was Willie Mays. Adding weight to the forthcoming interaction, the Hall of Famer wanted to meet Wade on his birthday.
