First, a sad RIP to the Say Hey Kid, Willie Mays, along with Mantle and Aaron and Koufax one of a handful of the greatest baseball players of the ‘50s and ‘60s era. Willie passed away last night at the ripe old age of 93.
To borrow a phrase that Texas Longhorn football coach Darrell Royal once famously said of Earl Campbell, Willie Mays may not have been in a class by himself, but it didn’t take long to call roll.
Willie might have been the best of them all.
