Willie Mays hits his 660th and last HR on this date in 1973

[Band of Brothers]

Hit it off Gullett of the Reds and with that HR it was Willie Mays last in MLB.

A big salute to the Greatest All around baseball player in MLB history.

Thanks for those 660 beautiful memories and the many others he provided over his lifetime in baseball.

Simply the greatest.

Thanks Willie !

There's no telling how many home runs he would have had if he played in some arena baseball park like Fenway, Yankee stadium, or Wrigley.

Yep - add another 50 just for that. Almost two years worth.

Imagine if Ted Williams hadn't missed FIVE YEARS. But you would need an asterisk because of that kiddie park he called home field.
