The giants will continue to honor Willie Mays in every way possible, and the latest addition to their uniforms will pay a small tribute to their massive and lasting impact.
The team revealed on Wednesday morning that a orange and black patch “May 24” it will be used in San Francisco’s rubber match against the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field – and likely for the remainder of the 2024 MLB season.

Mays, widely considered the greatest baseball player of all time, died peacefully Tuesday at 93 years old.
Known and loved as “The Say Hey Kid,” Mays was a 24-time MLB All-Star and two-time NL MVP, being inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1979.
While many hold fond memories of May close to their hearts, Giants players and coaches will literally do just that with a small patch on the left side of their chest to honor the baseball icon’s legacy.
