WILLIE MAYS DEAD


He was one of the greatest baseball players ever.  Today we find out that Willie Mays had died at the age of 93.

ESPN writes:

"Mays, whose unmatched collection of skills made him the greatest center fielder who ever lived, died Tuesday afternoon at the age of 93, the San Francisco Giants announced.

"My father has passed away peacefully and among loved ones," Michael Mays said in a statement released by the Giants. "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."

Mays was a negro league player with the Birmingham Black Barons and came to the major leagues to become the ultimate baseball player.  He was super talented and loved by all. It's a sad day.  

Willie, may you rest in peace.
