Great piece, Mark…yes, heroes are hard to find…and while everyone has their demons…these three : Mays, West, & Walton; are in the Pantheon of my sports heroes.
I'll never forget the day (and I'm still pissed) that the Giants traded Willie Mays to the Mets as if it was yesterday . Good for us for believing in heroes.
My heart sank when watching the Giants at Cubs the great Jon Miller announced the death of Willie Mays. He proceeded to tell stories over the next few innings (TV and radio) that only he can do so well. What a loss. What a player….💔
Well put. Time is fleeting.

Say hey Willie!
I remember when Willie went to the Mets, too…soul-crushing!
