Baseball legend Willie Mays dies at 93

Willie Mays, the electrifying “Say Hey Kid” whose singular combination of talent, drive and exuberance made him one of baseball’s greatest and most beloved players, has died. He was 93.
Mays' family and the San Francisco Giants jointly announced Tuesday night he had died earlier in the afternoon in the Bay Area.
“My father has passed away peacefully and among loved ones,” son Michael Mays said in a statement released by the club. “I want to thank you all from the bottom of my broken heart for the unwavering love you have shown him over the years. You have been his life’s blood.”
The center fielder, who began his professional career in the Negro Leagues in 1948, was baseball’s oldest living Hall of Famer.

The greatest all around player ever. He could do it all. I'm sure he lost at least a hundred home runs due to military service and playing the in the horrendous winds of Candlestick Park. Rest in peace Buck.
