August 1973: Willie Mays hit # 660 or his last HR




The great Willie Mays hit his last home run, or # 660, on this day in 1973.   He hit it off Don Gullett of the Cincinnati Reds.   
Mays was # 3 behind Ruth and Aaron when he retired.   He had a .302 career average, 3283 hits and 1903 Rbi.  
Maybe the greatest player ever?   He gets my vote.
