You know you're a legend when you get that kind of emotion out of people 51 years after you retired. Not just those who knew him, but fans like me, who aren't even old enough to have seen him play. I was 1 when he retired.
This hit hard.
Great man.
Great life.
He will be remembered.
He will be celebrated.
RIP Willie Mays. I watched my first World Series on TV Willie Mays and the Mets vs Oakland.
A real Giant. RIP
A sad day in baseball… RIP #24 🧡🖤
My Uncle loved the Say Hey Kid. It feels like the end of a generation of legends. How we could only get a few more minutes with our idols to tell them what they meant to us. I know my Uncle might be up there greeting Willie on his long journey home. Thank you Willie for all you have done to make baseball what it is today. Rest with the best and godspeed
I may be a Dodger fan, but this hurts. This really hurts right now. He lived up to 93, but it’s always difficult to put into words how special he was and how kind and fun the legend was to his fans and acquaintances alike.
Sending lots of love to the Mays extended family during this difficult time.
As a Dodgers fan, RIP to the giant Willie Mays. Thank you for your contribution to baseball. This sport is better having Willie be a part of it.
Rest in peace willy mays hey kid. You’ll always be remembered for your amazing baseball career historic moments in history and as a role model icon and friend to all also Barry bonds god father gone but never forgotten amen 🙏
Thank you Mr Baseball. A legend isn't the term for him.
Very sad to lose two hall of fame players in two different sports in about one week time in basketball
Jerry West and in baseball
Willie Mays
Both are very classy people
Willie Mays is the greatest baseball player of all time. Change my mind.
As crazy as this sounds, I thought he would live forever. And he will!
God bless 🙏
Bip you are amazing. Thank you for your history with him.
Jesus Bill Walton, Jerry West and now Willy Mays all in a matter of a couple of weeks! They say things come in threes.
Oooff...
RIP mr. Mays 🍻🍻
RIP Old G SF Giants.Oakland A's
Rest in peace to the greatest SF Giant
Wow, loved "The Bipster" when he was with the Reds, he was really hurt by this, R.I.P. Mr. Mays...🕊
R.I.P willy.
Very sad day in baseball . RIP #24
When they ask, is he a Hall of Famer, they should ask, can you put them next to Willy Mays
Whoooooooooooooooooooooollllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllle lot of onions being chopped tonight. We feel you, Bip.
Folks, go watch the homerun derby between Mays and Mantle. It's free on youtube.
Great baseball stuff 🍻
MLB lost a LEGEND
At least there is a current Willie alive and kicking in the majors today carrying on the legacy of the prestigious Willie name brand in the Minnesota Twins Willi Castro.
As a Twins fan myself I sincerely say this to you, shut up. Castro isn’t good enough to clean Mays’s jock
@@BigJoeGun3455 Why would you say that to me? Willie Mays has passed away and to think of you to say something like that is too weird for me to make sense of it. Willi Castro is a good name and for him to continue to play in the majors and to not get in any legal trouble is a great achievement in itself. Whenever people recognize him they will remember the great Willie Mays and all of the novel things he had done to grow the game of baseball and to a degree continue the social progress of not only blacks but the other minority baseball players that its possible to play in the majors if you continue to work hard and to believe in the talent you bring.
To compare the two is asinine. The only thing they have in common is baseball. They don’t spell their names the same, no one will ever think of Willi Castro and then think of Willie Mays and much less likely the other way around. Stop comparing the two. It just doesn’t make sense
Thank you, WILLIE MAYS for doing your part to help tame mankind with your gift, talent, grace and to help level baseball's playing field. You will always be beyond what we know as an icon. Your legacy is sealed and cannot be undone.
My very first trip to Candlestick 10-Apr-1970
That day, he backed up everything that people said about him.
Rest In Peace
Willie Howard Mays
"They throw it. I hit it. They hit it. I catch it."-Willie Mays
My first sports hero. I remember being eight years old, just discovering baseball and watching my first MLB all-star game during in the 1965 season. This one black player was introduced and the crowd immediately jumped to their feet with a rousing standing ovation that lasted a while. Growing up black in the Deep South during those years of segregation and racial tensions, l was amazed by the respect shown for that black man at that time in history amongst all that turmoil. This was still less than twenty years since Jackie Robinson was initially disrespected in every way possible. That player was Willie Mays. Back in those days we only had two (clear) television channels and one tv game a week, so whenever l saw Willie Mays (maybe once or twice a season) it was something special.
Rest in peace to the, “Say Hey Kid”…
A true legend across all generations, races, and sports…
What a life and career as a player, a man and an ambassador of the game.
We are all lucky to have lived in the same era as that great man.
Rip Willie
660 home runs. Imagine how many more he would have had if he did not play in the Polo Grounds
My favorite player as a kid. I loved pretending to be him during neighborhood games. Greatest all around player in my opinion. I wish he was still around, but he lived a good, long life and it might be fitting, in a way, that the great #24 waited until ‘24…RIP Willie
Breaks my heart seeing Bip like that. Willie might just have been the goat. It sounds like he was a great man. RIP
