Willie Mays celebration of life at the ballpark now 4pm+ Pacific

Only source I found is at https://knbr.com
A twitch feed, live audio but just static photos.

Bill Clinton in attendance to honor Willie Mays. He gave a heartfelt tribute to Willie, sharing his moments with him, including the time Willie beat him at golf with his old beat-up set of golf clubs.

An all-star complement of all-stars.

contribution to the game upon his death. IMO he was the most talented all-around player...had five tools, hit, hit for power, throw, play defense and speed.

The only thing he couldn't do was pitch. That's where Shohei Ohtani comes in. The game hasn't seen anything like him since the young Babe Ruth.
