Good morning, baseball fans!
On Monday night, an off-day for the San Francisco Giants, Oracle Park hosted a public celebration of life for the late Willie Mays. This was open to the public and featured some notable guests and speakers from a cross-section of American life, showing just how far Mays’ influence reached during his extraordinary life.
Jon Miller emceed the event, and a short list of attendees and speakers included two former United States presidents (with Bill Clinton in attendance and Barack Obama appearing via video message), Rob Manfred, multiple MLB Hall of Famers, Spike Lee, Barry Bonds, Willie Brown and more Forever Giants than you could shake a stick at.
