Willie Mays dies at 93 Say Hey Kid leaves a legend of Giants and baseball
Willie Mays, the electrifying Say Hey Kid and a Hall of Fame center fielder, has died at 93. The Giants and his family announced his death, thanking fans for years of support. Mays played 22 MLB seasons mainly with the Giants, batting .302 with 660 homers, 3,283 hits, 2,000-plus runs, and 12 Gold Gloves, and he earned the Medal of Freedom in 2015. His signature basket catch and speed defined an era, and the Giants retired his No. 24 jersey as Willie Mays Plaza bears his memory.
