Willie Mays chose the number 24 as his jersey number in honor of his childhood idol, New York Yankees outfielder Mickey Mantle. Mays admired Mantle's talent and success, and adopting the number was a way to pay tribute to him. Additionally, Mays wanted to stand out and make a name for himself in Major League Baseball, and the number became synonymous with his legendary career.
