Willie Mays celebrated his 89th birthday in 2020

Willie Howard Mays Jr. was born May 6, 1931, in Westfield, Alabama. Considered one of the greatest baseball players of all time. Mays holds the record for most putouts (7,095) and most extra-inning home runs (22) by any player.

As the coronavirus pandemic keeps him homebound, the greatest living baseball player is missing visits to the ballpark, as well as opportunities to promote a new book on his life.
