Mays died Tuesday afternoon at the age of 93.
Before Cubs manager Craig Counsell took postgame questions, he wanted to share a few words about baseball legend Willie Mays, who died Tuesday afternoon at the age of 93.
“He should be on the Mount Rushmore of baseball players, and a legend in our game,” Counsell said. “I got to meet him a couple times, and he was the kind of person – along with Hank Aaron, frankly – that just made you nervous because of how great they were. It was sad news to hear during the game today.”
The Cubs put a graphic of Mays on the Wrigley Field video boards Tuesday during their game against the Giants, who Mays represented on the field for over two decades.
