Willie Mays and Donna Reed were actually good friends in real life. She helped him find a house in San Francisco.

This whole episode is very radical for the times. Willie Mays shaking hands with two White women (Petula Clarke caused a big controversey when she put her hand on Harry Belafonte's arm on a TV special); Willie Mays pulling up a chair and sitting at the table; the Stone family talking with him as if he is an old family friend, not just a celebrity. These were deliberate choices on someone's part. In fact, Willie Mays was on the show 3 times. In 1950s-1960s...very radical.

Willie Mays is my cousin in real life. He's my great grandmother Janie Ruth Mays' cousin.

I like the original opening theme - in syndication, they used the season 8 closing theme as the opening, too.

This was a great episode. RIP WILLIE MAYS. You were such a powerful ball player. You will always be in my heart ❤. You will always be in my prayers. God has his angel 😇 back. You are in heaven playing baseball ⚾ with Willie McCovey and Orlando Cepeda.

Wow. Did Black people even exist back then? (I'm Black, and being sarcastic). "I Spy" was the first TV show I watched where a POC was featured prominently.

Am I missing something? How does the Stone family know Willie Mays? And how does Jeff find a date so quick only being in SF for one day? What a smooth operator!
