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
