I never really followed baseball, but I think he may have been the first baseball player I knew about. He was a symbol of baseball when I was learning about the sport.

My dad grew up outside SF in the 50’s. My grandpa took him to several games. I was talking to him tonight on the phone and he was pretty sad. We lost a good one today boys!

My Dad told me I saw him play in San Fran. He said all I did was complain about being cold. Since I was 2, no remembrance of attending.
RIP Willie |

I'm old enough to remember watching Willie in the late 60's early 70's. Even at the end of his career he was still damn good. Say Hey to Hank Willie RIP.

There weren't playoffs then either. Just the World Series. And most of those games were day games. So if it was a week day game and you were in school, you didn't get to see those either. It was a great era, and Mays was the best of the best! RIP Willie Mays!!! Last edited by Coogs; 06-19-2024 at 09:01 AM.. |

I know the Babe is often argued to be the best player of all time, but I think it was Willie Mays. Could do absolutely everything on offense and defense. RIP.
