Over his 22 years in the MLB, Mays played 8 seasons in New York
SAN FRANCISCO --Mays' family and the Giants jointly announced Tuesday night he had "passed away peacefully" at the age of 93 on Tuesday afternoon surrounded by loved ones.
The center fielder was baseball's oldest living Hall of Famer. His signature basket catch and his dashes around the bases with his cap flying off personified the joy of the game. His over-the shoulder catch of a long drive in the 1954 World Series is baseball's most celebrated defensive feat. Over 22 seasons, Mays batted .302, hit 660 home runs, totaled 3,283 hits, scored more than 2,000 runs and won 12 Gold Gloves.
