Willie Mays authored plenty of unforgettable moments during his Hall of Fame career. But he wanted one more World Series at-bat in October 1973.
The visit to New York, where Willie Mays began his major league career and played with the Giants from 1951-57, continued an emotional whirlwind for his son. Michael Mays briefly addressed the Citi Field crowd and asked fans to “make some noise, let him hear you” in honor of his dad. Michael Mays was in attendance at Mets Old-Timers' Day on Aug. 27, 2022, when Willie’s No. 24 was retired by the team in a surprise ceremony. Joan Payson, who owned the Mets when Willie Mays was acquired from San Francisco in 1972, told him the club would eventually retire his number, but she died in 1975.
