This is very important. Not at all ancient history -- very much in living memory. When he says he could've been killed, it is not an exaggeration. #baseball #baseballhistory #blackhistory #reggiejackson #mlb #negroleagues #williemays

Willie Mays' death added poignancy to MLB’s celebration of the Negro Leagues at Alabama's Rickwood Field — the nation’s oldest professional ballpark and where Mays got his start as a professional. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2024/06/21/baseball/mlb/willie-mays-star-alabama-game/ #baseball #mlb #us #alabama #williemays #negroleagues #race #discrimination #sanfranciscogiants #stlouiscardinals

MLB will be honoring the Negro Leagues and the legendary Willie Mays with a televised game today at America's oldest ballpark, Rickwood Field in Birmingham, Ala. Both teams will be wearing Negro Leagues uniforms — the Cardinals will wear St. Louis Stars kits, while the Giants will wear San Francisco Sea Lions jerseys. On June 17, the day before he died, Mays gave a statement to the San Francisco Chronicle about the game. "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," he said. Here's more from TODAY about the history of Rickwood Field, preparations for the game, and how to watch it.

At Oracle Park. San Francisco. Willie Mays. Say Hey. He transcended basbeall and sports. I told a number of San Francisco TV news people about what he meant to Black people. We’ll see if that makes the news reports. #RIP #WillieMays #SFGiants #SanFrancisco #NegroLeagues

This is now a hallowed number—and Major League Baseball must retire it. Have this number in every MLB ballpark next season, at the latest.

The Catch. 24 in ‘54.

Willie Mays. Unique excellence.
