Bob Costas reveals which MLB greats reminds him of Willie Mays
Legendary sportscaster Bob Costas tells OutKick's Dan Dakich on 'Don't @ Me' which former MLB star compares best with Willie Mays.
Willie Mays was one of a kind - literally.
Mays, who died this week at the age of 93, is the only player in baseball history to have 3,000 hits, 600 home runs and double-digit Gold Glove Awards.
There is no argument that Mays is a top-five player in the history of baseball - plenty argue he is No. 1.

Mays was a true five-tool player, and it is nearly impossible to find anyone like him.
However, Bob Costas listed a few (two current and three former) who remind him of the legendary Mays.
The broadcaster was asked on OutKick's "Don't @ Me with Dan Dakich" who the best living ballplayer is right now, and he had a few people in mind.
"I'm probably overlooking somebody. Shohei Ohtani is making a case, Aaron Judge is making a case," Costas said.
The two-way star in Ohtani, of course, is doing things that not even Babe Ruth did when he was both a pitcher and a hitter. Judge, meanwhile, could threaten his own AL record of 62 home runs this season.
However, he wanted to discuss a few who have retired within the last couple of decades.
