None Greater: Celebrating Willie Mays

Baseball Tonight with Buster Olney

Negro Leagues Baseball Museum President Bob Kendrick and Buster discuss the passing of baseball legend Willie Mays, how Bob found out about Mays’ death, the Rickwood game turning into a celebration of his life, Mays excitedly talking about being struck out by Satchel Paige, and if MLB should make Mays the logo. Then, Hembo on the Blue Jays going up in smoke, missing out on watching Mookie Betts do something historic, the Mariners burying the Rangers and Astros, and why Steven Kwan is a different hitter this season. Later, former major leaguer Cleon Jones talks about celebrating the Negro Leagues with the game at Rickwood in Birmingham, Ala., playing against Willie Mays in his first game as a Met at the Polo Grounds, meeting Hank Aaron at a school assembly, getting inner cities involved with the game, and his work in the Africatown community in Mobile.
