The statue of Willie Howard Mays, Jr. lay at the main entrance to the ballpark. It faced out at the corner of 4th and King Streets where two trolley lines crossed and where the Caltrain Station could disembark 1,000 fans at a time. The statue stood on a baseball design made of bricks and concrete in the walkway.

A sign on the far other side of the statue outlined his life:

A close up of the Willie Howard Mays, Jr. statue's face. Here gazing upward at the sky into which his just hit ball had flown.

The front of the face of Willie Howard Mays, Jr. with palm trees behind.

The midsection of the statue, twisted because he had just hit a ball.

His feet. Left foot flat on the ground, his right foot extended, with a bit of the bat visible above.

His hand loosely gripped the bat as if he were about to release it and run the bases.

The tip of the bat appeared buried in the ground.

Cleats were just visible on the bottom of his trailing right foot.
