When I was a child the only team in Texas was the Astros so I rooted for them as I listened to games on my transistor radio at night. Nonetheless, every time they played the Giants I was pulling for Willie to hit a home run. The greatest players will sometimes transcend team loyalty.

Willie Mays' case as baseball's GOAT: 24-time MLB All-Star was the perfect five-tool superstar - CBSSports.com

His era played with a joy not really seen much today. Truly an all-time great.

One of the all time greats and he did it humbly and professionally. A huge loss.

Say Hey was greatness, on the field and apparently off the field.

When I was a teenager and listened to baseball every day and sometime got to watch. Aaron, Mays, Musial, Mantle, Berra: it didn't get any better.

  Do we need an extra TE?
  
  Don't think I ever saw this posted until after he left. Regardless, I don't care. Every team has some cancers. The coaches just need to decide if the talent is worth it. I think it is. As long as you're not a felon, I really don't care what you do off the field anymore. Neither do the elite teams.

  '25 RB Offer: Grayson Rigdon; Columbus: 3 star - .8289 (86 rating by 247)
  
  Easily one of the most underrated players in the state. He was offered this week by NC State and visiting there this weekend, plans to make his decision this coming Monday. In the article I read it said he became a father over the summer so maybe location will help us. It also talked about his work ethic I am very hopeful we land this kid.

  ECU Game Uniform Combo
  
  Ya'll better worry about beating Baylor at home here in Houston at TDECU. At least the unis will look awesome in that Houston police car blue.

  Tickets to ECU game 11/23/2024
  
  I've got two seats in 209, row 13, seats 3-4 with chairbacks not being used Saturday. Comes with a blue lot parking pass as well. All I ask is that you go to the game, cheer loud for the Mean Green and post a picture in my seats at the game.
