Honoring a Legend: Willie Mays' Legacy

The Pain Free Athlete Podcast

What if we told you that a baseball legend could leave an indelible mark on your heart without you ever having met them? This episode of the Pain-Free Athlete Podcast takes you on a personal journey through the highs and lows of baseball fandom, as I reflect on the impactful life and recent passing of Willie Mays. From my childhood admiration of greats like Thurman Munson to an unforgettable visit to the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum in Kansas City, you’ll hear how the sport has shaped my life and athletic ethos. Moving to California deepened my connection to the Giants and Willie Mays, especially through his relationship with Barry Bonds—a journey filled with admiration and valuable lessons. Join me and feel the emotional tug as we remember the legends who have imprinted on our hearts, making us not just better athletes, but better human beings.
