Wow, hard to believe. I just read a quote from him in the past few days that he wouldn't be going to the game at Rickwood Field on June 20 but that he would be appearing from home in some way so very sad and unexpected. RIP.

Here's his first career HR. Thank you for signing another ball, which to me is "The Ball", Mr. Mays, even after I pissed you off. Last edited by doug.goodman; Yesterday at 10:18 PM. |

Here's my favorite Willie Mays story.
Don Mueller, who played next to Mays in the outfield in New York, decided he'd mess with Willie Mays.... MUELLER: "Hey, Will, this guy in the newspaper says you're the best centerfielder in baseball." MAYS: (who wasn't going to take any stuff, said), "Yeah, best right fielder, too." |

Sad to hear.
I was reading the ESPN obit and looking at the graphics. They really messed up. They have him playing in more all star games than the number of years he played including BNL.

You have the very ball that Mays hit for his first MLB home run? And it's even signed by Willie?

I predict that MLB will now soon coin a new seasonal honor for each league, naming it the "Willie Mays 5-tool player award."

Thank you, I had forgotten about that. It was from 1959 to 1962.
