I'll be honest. I thought he died years ago. Haven't heard his name in a while.
RIP

Damn, right before the Rickwood game too.
It was only announced a couple of days ago that he wouldn't attend.

RIP "Say Hey". Willie was a little before my time, but my Dad said he was the best he ever saw play.

Oh no. RIP Willie.
Always one of my favorites to read about as a kid.

Always really sad when someone that is/was larger than life in a lot of ways passes, but it's funny seeing everyone posting "shocked" or "speechless" when referencing his death.
He was 93.
Again, sad, but not sure this is exactly shocking.

This was a pretty lame attempt and wouldn’t have been funny regardless of the status of Willie Mays.

Helluva run. RIP.

IMO the greatest position player ever to step on an MLB diamond.

I literally read an article about him yesterday about him not attending some Negro League event
quote:
Willie Mays will not be in attendance when the San Francisco Giants face the St. Louis Cardinals at Rickwood Field on Thursday in a game honoring him and the Negro Leagues.
Mays, who began his career in Alabama with the Birmingham Black Barons of the Negro Leagues and played for the Giants from 1951-72, told the San Francisco Chronicle that he will enjoy the game at home.
I'm not able to get to Birmingham this year but will follow the game back here in the Bay Area," Mays said in a statement to the paper on Monday. "My heart will be with all of you who are honoring the Negro League ballplayers, who should always be remembered, including all my teammates on the Black Barons. I wanted to thank Major League Baseball, the Giants, the Cardinals and all the fans who'll be at Rickwood or watching the game. It'll be a special day, and I hope the kids will enjoy it and be inspired by it."

RIP, I didn't even know he was still alive. I bet he'd be the home run king if he didn't play all those years in Candlestick.

The most complete baseball player who ever lived. He was my dad’s favorite player. RIP
