Willie Mays, widely known as one of the greatest baseball players in the history of the sport, has passed away at the age of 93. The San Francisco Giants announced the news on behalf of Mays’ family, noting that the baseball legend passed away peacefully.

“It is with great sadness that we announce that San Francisco Giants Legend and Hall of Famer Willie Mays passed away peacefully this afternoon at the age of 93,” the Giants posted on X.

In a heartfelt statement, Willie Mays’ son, Michael Mays, expressed deep gratitude for the immense love and support fans have shown his father over the years. “My father has passed away peacefully and among loved ones,” Michael Mays said. “I want to thank you all from the bottom of my broken heart for the unwavering love you have shown him over the years. You have been his life’s blood.”
