Friday Fun AMAZING WILLIE MAYS "Diamond Doings" "Splinters" "Balls and Strikes"

Besides tales about the title person, the Amazing Willie Mays one-shot comic we ran yesterday...
...featured humorous one-page "fillers" about (what else) baseball!
Note that every page has at least one Black ballplayer in a cartoon, a rarity in the 1940s-50s unless the illustration focused on a specific Black sports figure!
BTW, "ballhawk" is outdated slang for an expert fielder!
Who says comics ain't educational???
