Willie Mays, arguably the greatest all-around player in baseball history, died on Tuesday. He was 93.

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

Mays was a 24-time All-Star, two-time NL MVP and 12-time Gold Glover.
