Willie Mays, during his two years with the Mets, suffered from an injury on his left knee. But, during the same, he had looked out for everyone on the team. A user drew a parallel between Mays and the golfing legend; “Hopefully not. he is starting to give off “Willie Mays on the Mets” vibe. if you don’t know what that is, look it up.”
Another fan recalled the 2024 schedule that the 15-time major champ announced during his appearance at the Hero World Challenge. They went ahead to comment, “Doubt it. He’s probably only going to bother with majors + signatures. Arnold Palmer is a couple weeks before Valspar. I’d guess he would play there if he wants to play in March before the Masters. Course isn’t too hard to walk and he has some good history there.”
Up next. Nothing short of a savage comment. The user did not answer the query posed by the OP but went ahead to hilariously reply with an amusing response, “I just texted him. I’ll get back to you.”
