+1Again?
Aaron, Mays, Clemente, all star outfield.Willie Mays retired after the 1973 season. Until then, there was never an All Star Game from my birth to my 20s that didn't have him named to it.
Best part of that play was the throw he made after catching that ballOne of the greatest.
RIP Willie
I was talking about a second thread. Kinda creepy people posting is becoming so important to post someone dying first+1
Thought he passed away a while ago. RIP to one of the greatest ever!
Why?24 must be retired throughout the game.
Agreed. Why? Can't retire numbers throughout baseball like that for only being awesome.Why?
True that this was his most significant catch ever. However, this was not his best catch ever. The one catch he made was at Ebbets Field against the Dodgers was the most amazing one. A ball was hit into the left field gap; Willie caught up to it on a horizontal dive parallel to the turf; hit the wall 4 feet above the ground, fell to the ground motionless. Though briefly unconscious , still held onto the ball for an out. I saw that play on TV and never forgot how amazing it was!
