Only Babe Ruth, with 714, has hit more than Willie. High Angle Shot - Baseball fans in the stands. Number 24, Willie Mays at bat and the ball is pitched. He slams it, making his 534th homerun. The crowds in the stands cheer and shout. High Angle Shot - Willie is at bat once again and Denny McLain pitches the ball and he connects hitting his 535th home run. High Angle Shot - All the baseball fans give Willie Mays a standing ovation with the echoes of applause. Willies comes from out of the dugout to wave his hat in the air at his fans. Low Angle Shot to CU of Willie Mays with a young white baseball fan. The fan holds two autographed baseballs. Both guys have big smiles and WIllie makes a werid grin at the camera.
