In his new book, 'A Fly on the Wall,' Walt Brown reflects on a lifetime of observing and meeting the greatest celebrities and their events of the last 50 years. From Willie Mays in the outfield, to Indy-car drivers, to football's 'Game of the Century,' he's been through it all. 'Celebrities often put up a different front for the public,' said Brown. 'You can really get to know your heroes as humans when you've got the advantage of being the third party in the room.'
