For 14 years, Willie Mays, the “Say Hey Kid” and San Francisco Giants legend, cheered on kids at Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital Stanford. Every holiday season, he made a special stop to hand out autographed baseballs to young patients and staff, continuing a long-standing tradition. The hospital’s archives feature heartwarming photos of Mays’ visits over the years.
The Stanford Medicine community mourns the loss of the Hall of Fame center fielder and 24-time All-Star, who died on June 18. He was 93.
