Today is your day Boomer! "I just felt that it was such a beautiful game that I just wanted to play it forever, you know.” The Say Hey Kid has passed away....Willie Mays, maybe the second-greatest baseball player of all time, died this week at the tender age of 93. We grew up with him, remember Boomers? The San Fransisco Giant star was really good in the 1960s(our formative years!) and I remember watching him on the Saturday game of the week! According to The Associated Press, here is his list of accomplishments: "Over 23 major league seasons, virtually all with the New York/San Francisco Giants but also including one in the Negro Leagues, Mays batted .301, hit 660 home runs, totaled 3,293 hits, scored more than 2,000 runs and won 12 Gold Gloves. He was Rookie of the Year in 1951, twice was named the Most Valuable Player and finished in the top 10 for the MVP 10 other times. His lightning sprint and over-the-shoulder grab of an apparent extra base hit in the 1954 World Series remains the most celebrated defensive play in baseball history." Only Babe Ruth gets more votes as GOAT, but Mays helped break the colour barrier in baseball and paved the way for other black athletes...like Hank Aaron! The ultimate compliment comes from former President Barack Obama: "Willie Mays wasn’t just a singular athlete, blessed with an unmatched combination of grace, skill and power, he was also a wonderfully warm and generous person — and an inspiration to an entire generation.” Us...Boomers.
