At Saturday's 100th NY BBWAA awards dinner, Michael Mays and Barry Bonds — the son and godson of Willie Mays — paid tribute to the Say Hey Kid, who died in June at age 93. Michael Mays joked that he assumed none of the 23 baseball writers who didn't cast HoF votes for his dad were present, and the duo kidded each other, with Mays calling Bonds the second greatest ballplayer ever — after his dad — as Bonds held up one finger. Bonds called himself "a testament of who Willie Mays was."
