Willie Mays Hayes
Willie Mays Hayes is a fictional baseball player from the movie Major League, where he was played by a then-unknown Wesley Snipes. His name is a take on that of "Willie Mays Aikens", who gained some measure of fame in the 1980s.
A speedy base stealer that can't hit to save his life yet Hayes claims "I play like Mays, and I run like Hayes."
"You may run like Mays, but you hit like shit." -- Indians manager Lou Brown
