Willie Mays, one of the greatest baseball players of all time, died of heart failure on Tuesday at the age of 93. This was announced by Major League Baseball (MLB).
Mays was known for his outstanding all-around skills. He was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1979, won the Most Valuable Player award twice and was named to the All-Star team 24 times, a record shared only by Hank Aaron and Stan Musial.
Mays played a total of 23 seasons for the New York Giants, San Francisco Giants and New York Mets from 1951 to 1973. When he retired, Mays ranked third in the all-time list with 660 home runs.
