#RIP Willie Mays.

Never saw him play. Met him once, at the unveiling of the statue of him at what was then Pac-Bell Park. It was a busy day so I doubt I left any impression at all and that's fine.

The man had so many defining moments in one of the most amazing careers in the history of the game and people who understand the game better than I do can explain it better than I will.

For us, he was the game. A legend by just about every standard.
