The Bay Area is continuing to react to the death of a man synonymous with San Francisco, and sports.
Near the corner of 3rd & King streets in San Francisco , a doorway calls to those on a pilgrimage to pay their last respects to Willie Mays."It wasn’t supposed to be open, but it was so hey let’s take advantage and let’s go enjoy the museum," said LaSean Boyd, Sr., who brought his son with him. Added Sarah Plotkin, a Giants fan who was wearing a number 24 Giants jersey with "Mays" across the back of shoulders, "I was supposed to be in a Buddhist retreat online.
"At Willie Mays Plaza, in front of Oracle Park, the Home of the San Francisco Giants, a large statue of Mays is now also a shrine to the long-time great. This, for a man who began his life in a segregated society, and at his death, there is a multicultural outpouring of love for his legacy, which is literally carved in stone and cemented in the baseball record books."All the challenges he had to go through for us to be able to play. For us to vote. Um, we’ve lost a giant.
