RIP Willie Mays

For my fellow Mets fans, check out post #80 of this thread, where I 're-imagined' cards of Willie Mays on 'The Amazins' in 1972:

It is great to see so many cool items of Mays. Here is something I found at the Brimfield antique show a few years ago.

I think of the lyrics to an early Beatles song, "I'm a Loser," in which John Lennon sang:

My tears are falling like rain from the sky
Is it for her or myself that I cry?

Change the pronoun and that's the truth for many of us. Because if Willie can grow old and depart, then what hope is there for the rest of us?

I think I'll go with these lyrics from Australian rock band The Angels (paraphrased and borrowed from Charlie Chaplin) :

"I got to stop these tears that's falling from my eye
Go walk out in the rain, so no one sees me cry"

But my favorite version of the song is this acoustic version on a solo album by the lead singer : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6YuWkI4kcs

I believe The Temptations said that in the 60’s…
