Playing excellent defense, Mays was called up by the Giants on May 24, 1951.[26] Initially, Mays was reluctant to accept the promotion because he did not believe he was ready to face major league pitchers. Stunned, Giants manager Leo Durocher called Mays directly and said, "Quit costing the ball club money with long-distance phone calls and join the team."[27] It was also around this time that Mays was given his famous moniker: "The Say Hey Kid"
