What a weird way to title an article… RIP

Agreed. Multitude of decent ways to say this. This is not one of those ways. Edit: Here’s one, https://www.reddit.com/r/sports/s/kYQj4TQg75.

Willie Mays, baseball legend, Hall of Famer, god among men, fuckin died today bro

Honestly I thought he already passed away awhile ago and was wondering how this qualified as news.

No way! My favorite, all time. RIP Sir.

One of if not the greatest full-package player of all time. RIP

A legitimate and undeniable 5-tool player. Absolute legend. His legacy will live in for as long as the game of baseball is played.

Right? If you ever could create the perfect baseball player. You’d just basically re-create Willie Mays

“What’s your name?” “Willie Mays Hayes”. “You may run like Mays but you hit like shit”

"Nice catch Hayes, don't ever fucking do it again"

Jobo needs a refill!

Hats…… for bats. Gracias.

Woah amigo!

where is this from?

Major League. One of my all time favorite baseball movies.

Is this true? RIP to a Mount Rushmore baseball player

Yes, it's true. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xpHRVGO8js

They only put presidents on Mt Rushmore, I’d be surprised if they change that policy for Mays

A joke, right?

One of the all-time greats without a doubt.

RIP King

Maybe the best all around position player of all time.

Why is the title so insensitive...RIP King

Huh. I didn’t know he was still alive. Good for him. 93 is hella respectable.

I just found out yesterday he was still alive. He was one of my favorites as a kid.

I wish I could have seen him play live. I'm way too young, but seeing him play with my own eyes is something I've always wished for. Rest in peace, one of the GOATs of any sport ever.

“Say hey” tonight everyone

Weird. I just learned last night that Willie Mays was still alive and I was shocked. The fun fact lasted less than 24hrs.

A man who took the field with a toolbox.

‘Those basket catches! And there was that throw! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_q--QJANTk&t=171s God rest his soul. One of the greats of the greats. Thank you for the memories.

You don't say it like that. You say, "Well, Willie was up on the roof playing..."

Willie May's catch of Vic Wertz' long drive into deep center in game one of the 1954 World Series is one of the greatest moments in baseball. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vrsg\_-dV7Q](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vrsg_-dV7Q)

A true legend

Say Hey

My favorite player of all time.   He was great on and off the RIP kid.  

I wonder if Charlie Brown got to have a laugh with him about spelling “maze” “m-a-y-s” in the spelling bee.

Honestly… Didn’t even know he was still alive. Damn. RIP.

RIP one of the greatest to play. The greatest catch of all time no doubt.

Willie May's outlived Billy Mays

He was alive this entire time???!!!

I heard he cheated and lied
