Mike Trout ‘Saddened’ By Death Of Legendary MLB Hall Of Famer

Los Angeles Angels star Mike Trout is the latest MLB player to offer his thoughts on the death of Willie Mays.

Moments ago, Trout posted a heartfelt message about Mays’ impact on the sport.

“I’m saddened by the passing of legend Willie Mays, one of the greatest baseball players of all time with a remarkable impact on the game,” Trout wrote. “Thank you for everything you gave us, Rest in Peace! #24.”

Trout is absolutely right about Ways having a “remarkable impact” on the MLB.

Mays was a 24-time All-Star and two-time MVP over the course of his career. He also won a World Series with the Giants in 1954.

Before Trout paid tribute to Mays on social media, Ken Griffey Jr. released a statement on this devastating loss.

“I’m at a loss for words. I’m devastated. Heartbroken. Numb,” Griffey said. “I’ve been lucky enough to know Willie since I was a little kid. And my appreciation only grew over time. From the stories, the videos and then meeting him. He was a true giant off and on the field. A person I looked up to and respected. A friend. And someone I could call when I needed to talk who always had time for me, and my best interests in mind. I considered him an uncle, and, to me, he’ll always be the Godfather of all center fielders.”

Make no mistake about it, Mays will be missed by baseball fans everywhere.
