❤😢👍 Love always
Came so close to being a teammate with Henry Aaron. $50 more per month from the braves kept that dream from happening – enjoy the hof reunion in heaven RIP
Say hey Willie my Dad Loved him 😢❤
In the '71 All-Star Game, at green Tiger Stadium, there was a bedsheet in the center field bleachers that said " Say Hey, Detroit Loves You" …….remember there was slim to no chance of seeing these NL guys live, except on Game of the Week, maybe. Thanks Mr. Mays, rest easy.
Mays was the Federer of baseball. Not only did he make it look easy, he often made it look like ballet, like art. When you’re the GOAT and you seem to revel in every moment, that’s Willie.
RIP 🙏🏼
The Say Hey Kid
He went to eternal sleep and has the best seats in the house for the Rickwood game rest in peace say hey kid
All these legends are passing away 😢
Basket catch. Cap flying off in centerfield while running to make a great catch. Running the bases like the wind. Great power to all fields. Terrific arm.
RIP, Mr. Mays. You’ll forever be my all-time favorite athlete. 🥹
People wonder why Bonds is so anti-social, he saw what his dad and Willie had to endure. Make no mistake, Mays is an idol but not exactly the smiley sey hey kid. He had to fight segregation, so.. how much can you smile?
R.I.P Legend ⚾️
R.I.P. to one the greatest ballplayers of all time, I am sure he said "say hey!" To saint Peter at the pearly gates
San Francisco is hurting right now… rest in peace to an all time great…
A hero of mine as a kid…and I'm Caucasian…what a Man
My dad and I will forever debate bc his GOAT is Willie, mine is Ken Griffey Jr.. RIP Mr. Mays
I was lucky to see him play when the giants came to play the Mets we didn't have cable only 9 channels
RIP❤😢 WILLIE MAYS WE LOVE YOU❤❤
amen, bob. and thanks for addressing bonds.
Did Bob say if you told somebody to look at the ballpark their eyes would automatically go to Willie Mays but when his pops pointed him out little Bobby’s eyes went to the wrong dude?
Willie Mays ⚾️ ⚾️
Wow them stats are mind blowing,R.I.P. Goat Willie Mays.
To have Pedro Martinez comment on Mays is pathetic. Why not a former team-mate or colleague?
My childhood couldn't be any greater knowing that I had Willie and Hank and Roberto to watch and admire it was the greatest generation of baseball players
What did he do besides hitting a baseball? Or Jackie Robinson? Jerry West? Great players but besides that what did the do that was extraordinary?
1969 Spring Training, the Memorial Stadium in Scottsdale, Giants would be in town for a three day stand with the Cubs. I would go to the Boys Club behind the stadium with my friends and sneek into the park from the right field fense, he would just smile. He was all business, and did not like to be around the cameras, or press. Mornings at the ball park was just kids, and ball players, and it would be hard to tell which he was during that time. Bobby Bonds, Willie McCovey, and Willie Mays in the same outfield was my favorite outfield, Orlando Cepeda at first.
I wish other sports would hold in high regard the older players like baseball does. Basketball disrespects the older players. Football nobody brings up the fact that Bart Starr won 5 championships it’s all about today. Baseball doesn’t do any of that.

The real Baby Ruth , Mr. Baesball
In 2020 during pandemic , seven hall of famer passed away.
my very first baseball game at the 'stick in the 60s had Mays, McCovey, Marichal and Bonds in the lineup that day. fast forward to the 90s when i take my gf to a game. after the game we are standing next to Willie's statue in front of the ball park when i see Willie standing inside a door inside the stadium. i grab my gf and turn her around to look. she starts screaming and crying. i'm sure it made Willie's night. R.I.P. Willie 😥
Those MVP trophies a decade apart
