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.

For a few(?) years, two MLB AS games were played per season.

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.

RIP Willie Mays
One of the All-Time Greats he definitely has a place on baseball's Mount Rushmore along with Ruth, Aaron, Cobb, Mantle and Jackie

As soon as I learned about the backstory of this SI cover I knew I had to have one… its proudly displayed in my “card cave” and I enjoy retelling the story of the friendship of Mays and Durocher and the sad reality of the blowback SI received nearly 8 years after Jackie joined the Dodgers.

What a player - time for me to reread his biography.

He was my boyhood (1955-1965) idol. My tribute at my popular free newsletter. Below that what arrived the day before he died: framed program from his time in Minneapolis plus his signed photo with the Miller (Ray Dandridge at left)

When I was a kid, Willie Mays was everybody's favorite player — my first glove was a MacGregor Wille Mays model, and it was way too big for me, but I didn't care because it had his signature etched in it. A few years later, there was a display of all Willie's Topps cards in a Life Magazine, and I awestruck when I first saw it. A few months back, I began searching for an eye-catching photo of Willie for my collection, and I settled on this one from 1952 ...
