There’s The Babe, Ted, Henry, Pete and Ricky but, Willie was built a notch above them all! RIP 🐐 ❤
Bonds greatest ever
Not sure Pete and Ricky have ever been in that convo
There will never be another one like him on so many levels RIP LEGEND Coming from a Yankee fan 😥🙏💙🙌⚾🦙
Willie Mays was a built a notch above them all , RIP 😔😔😔😔
Greatest Baseball player all time, Forever missed never forgotten #Black excellence🥷🏾
RIP Legend! As an Alabama native, I am so proud of this great man! I salute you sir! 😎❤️
If he hadn't missed most of the 1952 season and all of the 1953 season he might have passed Ruth on the all-time home runs list.
Willie Mays was the ultimate 5 tool player who loved playing baseball like no other!!!
Willie also played in 2 of the toughest parks to hit home runs!!
🙏🏾"Well done," Mr. Mays...🙏🏾
Willie was the baddest of the bad on the diamond!
The best player of all time. Indisputable. I'm sorry.
my hero rip
Rest In Peace Willie Mays 💔, thank you for the memories 🧡🖤🧡🖤⚾️
RIP Willie Mays!⚾️
The greatest baseball player of all time. Willie Mays could hit (3,283 base hits), hit for power (660 home runs, 1909 RBIs), run the bases (336 steals) and play the field (12 Gold Gloves).
Willie Mays is the GOAT !
Gracias Stephen 🎉
I’m not a big Smith fan, but this was downright eloquent, and every bit of it was absolutely true
Babe Ruth was the greatest player ever. He hit more home runs during the dead ball era than entire teams did. Plus he was a great pitcher.
Against plumbers and roofers 😂😂 and the league wasnt even integrated. But babe was great but Willie could do it all he was a 5 tool player .. Willie was a far superior athlete and ball player then Babe Ruth
@@GamedUpEnt “Against plumbers and roofers” ….. and the Negro League was full of porters and shoeshiners 😂
Willie could hit not only for power but for a career 301. He had speed with over 300 stls, 1st man in the 30 30 club, 12 GG so defense he. The combination of speed, power and hand & eye cornation at the plate and running the bases which he had over 2000 runs and drove in over 1900 makes he better all around player then Babe offensive. Defensive with the speed and glove (invented the basket catch) and arm also makes him better then Babe. Babe is a icon, but like Stephen A said he would have broke Babe HR record both Hank.
Babe Ruth was black.
@@wakeup8922 and those same plumbers and roofers from the negro leagues would have dominated the all white mlb if they were allowed to play in the era !
a truly great baseball player BUT! an Even Greater Human Being!!!
In His First 12 FULL Seasons.......*Willie Mays* hit 480 HRS
Reverence and gratitude.
RIP legend
All due respect Mr Stephen A Smith it's not just Willie Mays but did you see Reggie Jackson tell the story on ex about Willie Mays, and became real emotional, my point
Just think if he didnt go into the service & played in a more hitter friendly park he would of been top of alot more stats.
Yup Mays, Williams, DiMaggio, Musial all legends that served. Mays would have definitely got to 700 and probably been the the Home Run king.
I didnt even know that, he was still alive.
Think about out of all the other players you listed what Tiger Woods went through as a (successful) black golfer. You actually mentioned it earlier on one of your first take segments.
Probably the best all around player but Ted Williams was the greatest hitter.
Williams even said Willie was the greatest baseball player ever.

it was 1974, SAS, you just spitting out misinformation
2:48
first in the modern era not the first overall
May's was a great player for sure but! He was no josh Gibson. Satchel paige and monte Irvin who actually played alongside May's said Gibson was greatest.
I wish EVERYTHING didn't have to be about race
Be did not fight in the Korean War. His sons word
It doesn't matter if he fought or not he served his duty don't be petty.
@@aboveusall22 Petty? Don't be an idiot.
@@aboveusall22so you don’t like Mohamed Ali then
So Steven A took this opportunity to race hustle rather than celebrate Willie Mays' career.
Babe Ruth is the greatest baseball player of all time.
I didn't see Babe Ruth play just watch the film of Willie Mays circling the bases and watch Babe Ruth circling the bases show me some film of Babe Ruth stealing bases making spectacular catches.
@@aboveusall22 I don’t know, show me footage of Willie Mays pitching
Great baseball player I heard you tell the story that just imagine playing baseball with diversity racism way back then it's not way back then, my point to you is the same way you doing Caitlin Clark Willie Mays was great he did not get the recognition we can even say Ray Charles black people in general let alone the famous athletes sports players singers artists actors actresses, how couldn't use the bathroom couldn't stay here and it's no different than how you're doing this Kayla Clark they always had the recognition, and how do you turn it all around because you're saying she's white that is not true in my opinion you can't stay here, and the same way they're using that you can't stay here you have to go to the back door the way she's being endorsed play the platforms are getting all behind her it's the same way in a way the negative stuff you hear about the other black players with that's not getting their recognition put some respect on Black Culture because without those Willie Mays I'm a Ray Charles to the black athletes now today my point Richardson track runner nothing in her system now she been did it like that what are those gold medals came from they showed up and showed out this weekend and it's always been like that but don't get the recognition they deserved it is my opinion my opinion
He wasn’t the best but one of the greats. Just cuz people die doesn’t mean they go up in the rankings. Or what color of your skin/racial politics. Sorry truth hurts. Mj is greatest in the nba not because of his race but Because he was that dam
Good!! Aaron/ruth/ryan is the real goat debate In mlb
Willie Mays was the greatest to step on a baseball field just like Sugar Ray Robinson was the greatest to step in a boxing ring.
@@aboveusall22 thanks for your opinion
who the only player with 400 homers and 400 stolen bases? go look it up Stephen a...you know you don't like baseball....but nice piece for views on a BASEBALL PLAYER.... us true baseball fans don't forget what you say about the sport...you should be ashamed of yourself...
He was one of the greats. But The greatest who ever lived, no. He didn’t have 4000 hits, he didn’t hit 756 home runs, he didn’t have to hit a 100 mile an hour fastball, I can’t make him number one of all time
He lost two seasons being in the army, and he played a lot of his career at candlestick where home runs go to die. You might want to put things in perspective.
You talk about individual stats from individual players No single person living ever puts up all those numbers. Maybe in the future, but Mays was the greatest all around. Mays and Nolan Ryan were in the league together from 69-73, but I don't know if he had a hit off Ryan. Correction: Mays had three AB against Ryan, but no hits, no strikeouts and no walks, so he probably made contact outs.
@@matthewmaning4859 even so, doesn’t make him the greatest of all time,
@@imabeliever85 He hit for average and power, fielding was tops and base running. Can you name a better 5 tool player? You are either a troll or don't know jack about baseball.
@@matthewmaning4859 slow your roll, we’re talking baseball, not politics. Sheesh.
Babe Ruth and Ty Cobb and Lou Gehrig are the best. Musial, Mays and Mantle are next. Then the rest
Stop just talking smh… yall never cared about him before this. Only using him for views.
The Best Baseball player ever? Relax but RIP legend
Using him for views shameless SAS
