As of May 6, 2017, Mays is fifth on the all-time home run list with 660. He had a lifetime batting average of .302 and is one of 29 players to have 3,000 career hits.
Mays was arguably the greatest ballplayer of his generation. As an all-around ballplayer, he was superior to Mantle or Williams. He did everything well. Like Joe DiMaggio before him, Mays was an excellent fielder, a superb base runner, a great power hitter and one who retired with a lifetime batting average above .300. There have not been that many major league players who have excelled both defensively and offensively. Mays could do it all.
