Willie Mays is the only MLB player to have a 4-home run game and a 3-triple game in a career. Mays is frequently regarded to as one of the finest players to have ever played the game and is often mentioned as the greatest living baseball player. He was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1979, his first year of eligibility. He was also awarded as the 1951 Rookie of the Year. In 1999, he ranked number 2 on The Sporting News' list of the top 100 Greatest Baseball Players, thus making him the highest-ranking living player, the highest-ranking player to have spent the majority of his career in the National League, and the highest-ranking center fielder.
Mays was once announced as winner of the National League Most Valuable Player Award for the Giants and the Hickok Belt as top professional athlete of the year. He won his second of two MVP awards in 1965, hitting a career high 52 long balls.
Mays was a coach for the New York Mets and also acted in a PR role for the club until 1979. He's presently employed as Special Assistant to the Giants and appears often at baseball memorabilia shows.
Mays's number 24 is retired by the San Francisco Giants. Their home ballpark is located at 24 Willie Mays Plaza with a monumental statue of Mays at the main entrance, surrounded by 24 palm trees, and the right-field wall is 24-feet high, all in his honor.
