Giants legend Willie Mays dies at 93

The "Say Hey Kid" is no longer with us. Former Giants and Mets legend Willie Mays has died at the age of 93, the Giants announced Tuesday night.

The news came from the Giants broadcast in the middle of the team's matchup with the Chicago Cubs. It was broadcast Jon Miller who broke the news, saying that Mays "passed away peacefully this afternoon."

The following statement came from Mays' son, Michael. There were other statements from Larry Baer and Greg Johnson here.

"My father has passed away peacefully among loved ones," Michael Mays said in the statement. "I want to thank you all from the bottom of my broken heart for the unwavering love you have shown him through the years. You have been his life's blood."

Mays began his career with the Birmingham Black Barons in Alabama when he was 16. The Giants will play the St. Louis Cardinals June 20 in Birmingham at the same Rickwood Field where Mays began his career. The already poignant, emotional site and homage to the Negro Leagues will take on an even weightier sentiment with Mays' passing.

The Hall of Famer's career began with the Giants in New York in 1951. He spent 21 years with the organization -- his career interrupted in 1953 for military service -- and finished with the majority of his final two years played for the New York Mets.

In Mays' unparalleled career, he accrued 3,293 hits, 660 home runs, 1,909 RBIs, 2,068 runs and 368 steals with a lifetime .301 batting average. He was two-time MVP, Rookie of the Year, 24-time All-Star, 12-time Gold Glover and World Series champion in 1954. He is arguably the most complete baseball player of all time.
