Earlier, Tim Kurkjian’s Twitter feed relayed some nice quotes about Willie Mays and his greatness, including:
Willie Mays led the league in steals four years in a row, averaging 33 homers in those years. His 40 steals in 1956 were the most in the NL since 1929. Frank Robinson once told me, “You can’t exaggerate how great he was.” #bestofalltim

Mays won 12 Gold Gloves, most among center fielders, and they weren’t awarded until his fifth season. He won his last one at age 37.
