Happy Birthday to Willie Mays!

Mays is one of the best players in baseball history, so it's always fun to go back and admire his accomplishments.

A 23-year-veteran of the major leagues, Mays played for the New York and San Francisco Giants, as well as the Mets. He was a 20-time all-star who made the all-star game every year from 1954-1972. He was a 12-time gold glover, a two-time all-star MVP, a 1954 World Series champion, a two-time MVP (1954, 1965) and a Rookie of the Year (1951).

His Baseball Reference page is littered with league-leading accolades: He led the league in runs scored twice, hits once (1960), triples three times, home runs four times including hitting 52 home runs in 1965. He led the league in stole bases four times and won a batting title in 1954.

For his career, he was a .301 hitter. He's part of the 3,000 hit club (3,293) and the 600-home run club (660). He ranks sixth on the all-time home run list behind Barry Bonds (762), Hank Aaron (755), Babe Ruth (714), Albert Pujols (703) and Alex Rodriguez (696).

Mays was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1979 and was named to the All-Century team in 1999. He entered the Hall of Fame in the same year as Hack Wilson and executive Warren Giles.
