The New York Mets honored Hall of Famer Willie Mays by retiring his No. 24 on Saturday during a surprise announcement at Old Timers’ Day.
Mays spent the first 21 seasons of his 23-year career with the Giants, first in New York and then San Francisco after the team moved to the West Coast in 1958. He hit .301 with 660 home runs, which is sixth most in MLB history, and 1,909 RBIs.
Over two seasons with the Mets, Mays hit .238 with 14 home runs and 44 RBIs, helping the Mets reach the 1973 World Series. Mays delivered some key postseason hits for the Mets, driving in a run in Game 5 of the NLCS and a go-ahead two-run single in Game 2 of the 1973 World Series. Days later, he would wear his iconic No. 24 for the final time of his career.
