RIP - Willie Mays

 

Willie Mays passed away today, June 18, 2024 at age 93. 

 

I just learned about this 10 minutes ago, and am crying as I type this. (Haven't done that since the Mick's passing.)

What is there to say about him that everyone doesn't already know? 

 

The photo above is a model I assembled back in the mid-1960s. I found it hidden in my basement about 10 years ago.
