On June 18, the baseball world learned the shocking news that Willie Mays, “the Say Hey Kid”, had died at the age of 93. There is no way to quantify Mays’ legendary status that would quite do him justice. He averaged 6.5 bWAR per season across his 24-year career, a mark that would be worthy of the MVP honors in many seasons. He was the ultimate five-tool guy, batting over .300 for his career while still being sixth all-time in home runs. And these eye-popping accomplishments with the bat don’t even take into account the fact that he is perhaps the greatest defensive outfielder ever. This all isn’t considering that he lost two years of play due to being drafted into the Korean War.

This week, City Council is set to begin discussing the proposed deal with the Jacksonville Jaguars to renovate EverBank Stadium. At its center is the agreement for a $1.4 billion stadium overhaul, the cost of which would be split 50-50 with the Jags after the city also covers $150 million in overdue maintenance and repair work. The city has said it plans to pay for its $625 million construction portion, for the most part, by redirecting revenue from a half-penny sales tax, passed as “the Better Jacksonville Plan.” But it’s not a straight line from the tax revenue pot to getting cranes in the air — the plan depends on budget changes to avoid debt on other projects, and using money that would have gone toward paying down that debt on the stadium reno.
