Mays grew up near Rickwood Field and started his pro baseball career in 1948 playing there for the Birmingham Black Barons, a flagship franchise of Black baseball during the game’s segregated era and a member of the Negro American League at the time.“The San Francisco Giants and the family of Willie Mays will remember the tremendous talent, keen intellect, remarkable showmanship and boundless joy of the Giants legend and Hall-of-Famer,”in a statement.
