I just came back to say farewell to my childhood hero, and in a way also to the wonderful times when there were three teams in the Big Town, my Dad was a young man, and I was born into a mixed marriage (Giants - Dodgers).

Farewell, Say Hey Kid.

RIP #24. Where does the time go?

[Jane Long]

You’re back!!

FR is the Hotel California of the internet.

[Mariner]

And I thought you were dying or somethin’.

I’m very sad tonight. My Dad took me to see him play at Candlestick Park. I dressed up one Halloween as Willie.

I just watched video of “The Catch” again.

Friend told me: “He almost always lost his cap (on purpose) when running the bases. He said the people were there to be entertained.”

You can check out but you can never leave?

I seen him hit a homer at Dodger stadium when I was a wee lad. I still remember it well.

So true. 🌴 🌅

Across the evening sky, all the birds are leaving
But how can they know it’s time for them to go?
Before the winter fire, I shall still be dreaming
I do not count the time

For who knows where the time goes?
Who knows where the time goes?

Sad deserted shore, your fickle friends are leaving
Oh, but then you know it’s time for them to go
But I shall still be here, I have no thought of leaving
I have no thought of time

For who knows where the time goes?
Who knows where the time goes?

And I am not alone while my love is near me
And I know it shall be so until it’s time to go
So come the storms of winter and then the birds in spring again
I do not fear the time

For who knows how my love grows?
And who knows where the time goes?

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Exactly.

[Deaf Smith]

You can check out, but you can never leave.

I’ve been to the edge...

And there I stood and looked down

You will be OK.

Mays was absolutely one of the greatest baseball players who ever lived. Unparalleled combination of speed, power, and skill.

Sad news.

But we all have an expiration date…

RIP Willie. Thanks for the Game..,

[Major Matt Mason]

Only saw Mays in person once vs. the Pirates in Mays' last season (also Clemente's last season). Mays was obviously at the end of his career, but it was still cool to be able watch he and Clemente in person. RIP.
