Today really sucks, especially if you are a baseball fan like I used to be… One of the greatest of all time, Willie Mays has died… He played for a team I always hated, the New York and San Francisco Giants, but the guy was an absolute legend.
Heartbreaking
Willie Mays is my mother's hero. I am where I am today because of how he captivated her from a young age. His joy for the game inspired her, and she passed that love on to me.
Baseball is so impactful because of what it means to generations ♥️ https://t.co/q7Z92JyfAl
