Willie Dean McGee (born November 2, 1958) is a retired professional baseball player who won two batting titles and was named Major League Baseball's 1985 National League MVP. McGee primarily played center and right field, winning three Gold Glove Awards for defensive excellence. McGee spent the majority of his 18-year career playing for the St. Louis Cardinals, helping the Cardinals win the 1982 World Series with his outstanding performance in Game 3 of that series. A four-time All-Star, McGee accumulated 2,254 hits during his career. He currently serves as a Special Assistant to St. Louis Cardinals General Manager, John Mozeliak.
Willie Dean McGee, one of seven children, grew up in a devoutly religious household. His father Hurdice was both a machinist at the Oakland Naval Yards and a deacon in the Pentecostal church. Hurdice did not want his son to play any organized sports on Sundays, so McGee slipped out of the house on Sunday afternoons to pursue his passion for sports. Much later, McGee learned that his father knew that he was sneaking out to play baseball, but decided to let him go on anyway.

Joaquín Andújar and Pete Vuckovich, each team's pitching aces, were locked in a scoreless pitching duel until the top half of the fifth, when Willie McGee belted a three-run homer for the Cards. The Redbirds added two more in the seventh off Vuckovich. Lonnie Smith doubled to right-center and tried to stretch it to a triple. Smith scored when Jim Gantner's relay throw to third went wild. McGee followed with a solo home run later in the inning, his second. McGee also had a couple of defensive gems, running down a deep Paul Molitor drive in the first and robbing Gorman Thomas of a home run in the ninth. In the seventh with one out, Andujar had to leave the game when a line drive from Ted Simmons struck his kneecap. The Brewers loaded the bases in that inning, but ace reliever Bruce Sutter...

Mamaalam
Tala kong may ngiti
Saglit lamang
May huling habilin
Sa gitna ng 'yong paglalakbay
Sa dako mong ihihimlay
Dalhin ang payapa't
Pangakong wagas.
Patawad.
Koro:
May lunas pa raw
Nananamlay mong diwa
S'yang may gamay
Ng malay mong tilang,
Hiram.
Itong minamata
Daang tinitimbang,
Dala, tangi kong
Alay.
Mamaalam
Sa mundong kay lupit
Sadya kayang
Nilihis ka sa pait
Sa gitna ng 'yong paghihimlay
Mangako kang maghihintay
Dalhin sa paglitis
Taglay na tamis.
