Last week, Major League Baseball made a historic move by integrating Negro League statistics into its record books, resulting in baseball icon Willie Mays gaining 10 more career hits at the age of 93. Mays, known as one of the greatest players in baseball history, expressed his surprise and delight at this development, calling it a 'very good thing' and remarking on the uniqueness of achieving such a feat at his age.
During his illustrious 23-season career, primarily with the New York Giants, Mays amassed impressive numbers, including 660 home runs and 3,283 hits. He is particularly renowned for his legendary catch during the 1954 World Series, a moment that has been etched in baseball history as one of the greatest defensive plays of all time.
