You could say willie mays had the first web gem of baseball

[@Evroyal]

He really was a giant. The goat

[@felixorozco6514]

The real GOAT #24😢

[@Jay-bf5iu]

Will Mays is the greatest of all time.

[@shackdaddy7106]

Willie Mays was the best all-around non-pitcher in the history of baseball. Ted Williams was the best hitter. Babe Ruth was the greatest player because he was second only to Williams and hitting plus he was a great pitcher. If he had pitched in his entire career, he would’ve been in the Hall of Fame as a pitcher.

It's a shame Bill Russell doesn't get the same acclaim as Willie Mays, Jim Brown and Muhammed Ali. If they recorded blocked shots, Russ would have averaged a career triple double. 11 championships, 8 in a row, 5 MVPs. Hands down, the greatest basketball player and of the very greatest American athletes of all time.

DiMaggio sure as he'll doesn't have the stats to back up Russo's assertion.

[@riccardinod]

Would love to know which writers left Willie Mays off their Hall of Fame ballot.

[@tomc2376]

also he still has the most putouts by any outfielder with over 7,000

[@renewd]

If speed and defense mean anything, Mays has the edge over Ruth.

[@OG_Phil225]

I got Barry Bonds as the Goat tbh but I got Mays > Ruth too
