Willie Mays Aikens (born October 14, 1954) is a former Major League Baseball first baseman.
He had established himself as one of the top sluggers in the game before drugs derailed his career.
In 1994, Aikens was sentenced to twenty years in prison on four counts of crack cocaine distribution and one count of use of a firearm during drug trafficking.
He was released on June 4, 2008, after changes in federal drug laws, and is sometimes cited as an example of the results of mandatory minimum sentencing in drug-related crimes.
