Willie Mays | Born 1931
$37,500 – Sherwood Forest, San Francisco

Finding a house even though you have enough funds, whether from a mortgage loan or not, is somehow difficult. However, in the case of Mays, it’s way different. He had problems buying a new three-bedroom estate at 175 Miraloma Drive Sherwood Forest, San Francisco, just because of his skin color. This happened in 1957 when he was still married to Marghuerite. Eventually, because of reluctance to live in the house situated between Mount Davidson, St, Francis Wood, and Miraloma Park.

The 3,200-square-foot house is made up of redwood and brick and had an asking price of $37,500, $5,000 more than what a white man could get. Due to an unfortunate event, the estranged couple moved out after staying for more than a year. In case you’re unfamiliar with his identity, let us remind you that he played for San Francisco Giants and New York Mets, where Mays became a World Series Champion, 24-time All-Star player, and two-time National League MVP.
