93-year-old MLB legend Willie Mays, known for "The Catch," passes away; MLB considers retiring his number 24.
93-year-old MLB legend Willie Mays, known for "The Catch," has passed away. ESPN's Get Up discussed whether MLB should retire his number 24, worn by many legends. While it's a respectful idea, professional sports often do not retire numbers. NBA hasn't retired Michael Jordan's #23, but NHL retired Wayne Gretzky's #99 shortly after his retirement. Mays was a World Series champion and 24-time all-star.
