Tribute to Willie Mays
Willie Mays' death was announced by the San Francisco Giants, his team of 21 seasons, at 5:52 p.m. PT Tuesday. What followed showed the full force of the legacy of not just as an inner-circle Hall of Famer but also an integral part of baseball's rich history.
Mays' death at 93 years old triggered a reaction across the baseball world, first hitting the Giants' broadcast.
"We are very sad now to relay this information that has just been released by the Giants, that the great Willie Mays has passed away," Giants play-by-play announced Jon Miller said. "Passed away peacefully this afternoon at the age of 93."
The Giants also included a statement from Mays' son, Michael, who thanked fans for the support they showed his father:
“My father has passed away peacefully and among loved ones,” said Michael Mays. “I want to thank you all from the bottom of my broken heart for the unwavering love you have shown him over the years. You have been his life’s blood.”
MLB quickly released a statement from commissioner Rob Manfred, saying, "[Mays'] incredible achievements and statistics do not begin to describe the awe that came with watching Willie Mays dominate the game in every way imaginable." It wasn't long before California Gov. Gavin Newsom
followed with his own statement
Former President Barack Obama, who awarded Mays the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2015, tweeted his praise as well:
Barry Bonds, for whom Willie Mays was godfather through his time playing alongside Bobby Bonds, responded on Instagram:
I am beyond devastated and overcome with emotion. 💔 I have no words to describe what you mean to me- you helped shape me to be who I am today. Thank you for being my Godfather and always being there. Give my dad a hug for me.
Rest in peace Willie, I love you forever. #SayHey ⚾️
Mays' death figures to weigh heavily on Thursday's MLB game at Rickwood Field. The Giants are scheduled to face the St. Louis Cardinals at the home of the Negro Leagues' Birmingham Black Barons, where Mays played before signing with the Giants in 1950. The Giants released a statement from Mays on Monday explaining that he would be unable to attend because "I don't move as well as I used to."
Rickwood Field was actually hosting a minor-league game between the Birmingham Barons (named after Mays' hometown team) and the Montgomery Biscuits when Mays' death was announced. The result was a standing ovation from a crowd that was momentarily stunned by the news:
MLB Network broadcaster Rich Waltz could be heard fighting his emotions as he read the Giants' announcement during the game.
Many, many more people responded over the ensuing hours. New York Mets broadcaster Keith Hernandez, who watched Mays play during his brief career with the then-nascent Mets, was near tears as he recalled meeting the legend:
"I've been at Shea Stadium when he was younger, and I also was in his company when he was older and he was completely blind. What always came off, and he was the Say Hey kid, he had that ebullient personality, infectious and genuine. I got to tell him that he was the greatest player I ever saw."
Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Andrew McCutchen also spoke of his time meeting Mays, who reportedly nicknamed the former MVP "Pittsburgh," via Andrew Destin of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette:
"Yeah, before there was Bonds and Griffey and all these guys and Stargell, it was Willie Mays. Willie Mays, he was the guy who before Rickey Henderson, before all these great center fielders even, there was Willie Mays. He was a pioneer for the game. He was a guy who was very fortunate to be on the Giants. And honestly, that was kind of one of the things that had me pretty excited going to the Giants was to know I was going to be around people like Willie McCovey and Willie Mays and Barry Bonds and those guys. So, his legacy is going to live on.
"Anyone who's ever come in contact with Mays for even a day, they're going to have a story. They're going to have something. My nickname was "Pittsburgh." That was my nickname to him. He'd always call me Pittsburgh. Paid attention to a lot of the games that we played in, talked to him every time I got the chance. I'm pretty sure every time. He probably got tired of me. But anytime I had an opportunity to be around him, I was going to be around him."
On social media, reactions included a number of Black baseball players as well as longtime San Francisco Chronicle Giants writer John Shea, who was a friend of Mays' and co-writer of his autobiography.

In Memory of Officer James H. McKnight
Date of Birth: November 7, 1950
Date of Appointment: June 23, 1987
End of Watch: June 16, 1990
Badge Number: 103
Officer James McKnight was shot while attempting to serve a search warrant on Friday, June 15, 1990 at a residence in the town of Madison, in rural Yolo County. Officer McKnight was a member of the Yolo County Narcotics Enforcement Team, who along with members from the state Bureau of Narcotics Enforcement had a warrant to search the house whose residents were suspected of involvement with a cocaine smuggling ring. As Officer McKnight and the other members of the enforcement team entered the residence, they found a bedroom with its door locked. Behind the door was a suspect who had barricade himself with a loaded gun. The suspect fired at the officers, striking Officer McKnight in the head and upper torso. Another officer, Special Agent Ken Beckstead was wounded in the wrist and chest. After a valiant effort by medical personnel to save his life, Officer McKnight passed away.
Officer McKnight had been with the West Sacramento Police Department since incorporation in 1987. He previously worked for the Yolo County Sheriff’s Department, the Woodland Police Department and a police department in Hawaii. Officer McKnight had just graduated from the McGeorge School of Law and hoped to use his law degree to expand his horizons. He was described by his fellow officers as dedicated and reliable and was well liked by everyone.
In 1996, the West Sacramento Police Department dedicated its new building in memory of Officer McKnight.

Sen. Dodd’s Vallejo Police Staffing Bill Advances
SACRAMENTO – Legislation advanced today from Sen. Bill Dodd, D-Napa, that would help address chronic police staffing shortages in Vallejo by allowing qualified retired officers to work up to full-time for the Solano County Sheriff’s Office, providing the additional deputies needed to aid Vallejo during this staffing emergency.
“Retired police officers bring a wealth of training and experience, and this measure ensures we can put that to use to maintain public safety,” Sen. Dodd said. “Allowing them to temporarily work more hours while recruitment ramps up for permanent officers can save taxpayers money while deterring crime and improving responsiveness.”
The Vallejo Police Department has become extremely understaffed, prompting the city council to declare a local emergency. The department is authorized to have 132 officers but is down to 31 officers patrolling a city of 123,000 people. On average, it takes up to two years to recruit and train new officers. One cost-effective interim solution that can be deployed relatively quickly is to use retired officers. However, retired officers may not work more than 960 hours per year under existing law, leaving gaps in staffing.
That’s why Sen. Dodd introduced Senate Bill 1379, which allows retired police officers to exceed the 960-hour limit for retired annuitants, for the next three years. The waiver would also apply to dispatchers, evidence technicians and police records personnel. The bill would allow for Solano County sheriff’s deputies to respond to more emergency calls in Vallejo by giving them the necessary deputies to do so. The state has previously allowed retired employees to meet urgent staffing needs with similar exemptions.
SB 1379 is supported by the Vallejo Mayor Robert McConnell, Solano County Sheriff Tom Ferrara, Solano County Deputy Sheriffs Association, the Vallejo Chamber of Commerce and the California State Sheriff’s Association. It cleared the Assembly Public Employment and Retirement Committee today on a 7-0 vote and heads next to Assembly Appropriations.
“I would like to thank Sen. Dodd for addressing the dire need for help in Vallejo,” Solano County Sheriff Tom Ferrara said. “This important change will help us ensure the appropriate staffing levels for community safety.”
“The Vallejo Chamber of Commerce is thrilled to have SB1379 approved by the Senate Committee,” said Shawna Gilroy, the chamber’s president and CEO. “We are in full support of bringing back retired officers that are willing to continue to serve. With the state of emergency in Vallejo we welcome the help to provide more protection and safety to our businesses, residents and community. The Vallejo Chamber of Commerce will continue to support our emergency services personnel in an effort to make our community the best it can be.”
###
Senator Bill Dodd represents the 3rd Senate District, which includes all or portions of Napa, Yolo, Sonoma, Solano, Sacramento and Contra Costa counties. More information on Senator Bill Dodd can be found at www.senate.ca.gov/dodd.

Alumni Update: Vacaville's Mykal Walker will report to Washington Commanders' training camp in July
FAIRFIELD — Vacaville High School graduate Mykal Walker is looking to make a fresh start in the National Football League with the Washington Commanders.
It will be Walker's fifth season in the NFL after playing three with the Atlanta Falcons and one with the Pittsburgh Steelers. He also spent time with the Chicago Bears and Las Vegas Raiders.
Walker has played in 57 games and recorded 220 tackles, one sack, two forced fumbles, one fumble recovery and four interceptions, with one pick he returned for a touchdown. Last season, he played in eight games with the Steelers and made five starts, recording 33 tackles with two for a loss, two pass deflections and one interception.
The Commanders will begin reporting to training camp at the team's facility in Ashburn, Va., on July 18 with the first full-squad practice set for July 24. Camp will conclude on August 23.
The Commanders open the preseason August 10 against the New York Jets and open the season Sept. 8 at Tampa Bay.
College Football
Armijo High School graduate Elijah Boyd has transferred from the University of Texas, El Paso to Bowling Green State.
The 6-foot-4, 250-pound junior tight end appeared in nine games last season with the Miners but did not catch a pass. He had previously played at Contra Costa where he appeared in seven games and made six catches. Boyd graduated from Armijo in 2021 and played defensive line, offensive line and tight end for the Royals.
Bowling Green had a record of 7-6 a season ago and lost to Minnesota 30-24 in the Quick Lane Bowl in Detroit. The Falcons open the season on Thursday, August 29 at home against Fordham.
Lindy's Magazine, meanwhile, tabbed Harding University as the No. 1 team NCAA Division II team in the nation heading into the 2024 season. Not surprising since the Bison won the 2023 national championship.
Darion Dunlap-Johnson, a 2019 Rodriguez High School graduate, played in 13 games for Harding but made no starts. He still managed to return one punt for 18 yards, made 21 tackles, intercepted three passes and force one fumble. One interception resulted in a "pick six" after a catch and 46-yard dash to the end zone.
The 5-foot-9, 175-pound senior defensive back wears No. 0 and is listed first on the Bisons' team roster. He played at Contra Costa before making the transfer to the Searcy, Arkansas, campus.
The Bison will open the season Thursday, Sept. 5 at home against Southern Nazarene.

6 Pioneer High School girls basketball players presented with Golden Empire League awards as coach departs
By SHAUN HOLKKO | sholkko@dailydemocrat.com
Senior forward Olivia Gill reigns as back-to-back GEL MVP
When New York Liberty superstar Breanna Stewart won the 2023 WNBA Most Valuable Player award, it was a highly controversial result as many people expected A’ja Wilson of the Las Vegas Aces to repeat as MVP.
However, the girls varsity basketball MVP was a no-brainer in the Golden Empire League for the second consecutive year: Pioneer High School senior power forward Olivia Gill.
Following back-to-back GEL championships, she was selected as the league MVP again. Gill was joined by five of her teammates in receiving individual recognition from the GEL following the conclusion of the 2023-24 season.
Senior shooting guard Ava Contreras and juniors, point guard Keziah Maldonado-Lemus and PF Peyton Thorpe, were selected to the All-GEL first team. Senior center Marissa Christian and sophomore SG Naomi Navarro earned respective spots on the league’s second team.
Per game, Gill averaged 16.0 points (1st in GEL), 12.6 rebounds (2nd), 2.5 steals (tied 6th) and 2.0 blocks (1st). The two-time MVP totaled 196 field goals made (1st), 40 free throws made (2nd) and 23 double-doubles (1st).
“She’s one of the hardest workers that I’ve had in my nine-year career. She’s one of the ones that was always there and on time to practice with no excuses. Even when she’s hurt, when she’s sick, she’s there and ready to play,” Pioneer head coach Sean Goldston said with a laugh. “Keziah and Olivia got co-MVP for the team just because you can’t say KML without saying Olivia. She’s great but you’ve gotta have someone to get her the ball in the right spots. It takes five on the floor at one time, right? It always makes it easier when you have teammates that are there to help you get better.
“In turn, having Marissa and Peyton there to push Olivia. Peyton is coming up next year and Olivia taught her a lot toughness. She showed her what it takes to get to that next level. That just speaks volumes about Olivia, her dedication being there all the time and working with other girls to make that connection.”
Maldonado-Lemus tallied per game averages of 8.9 points (5th), 8.7 assists (1st), 5.7 steals (2nd) and 0.5 blocks (T10). KML racked up 93 FGM (6th), 33 FTM (5th), 31 3-pointers made (2nd), 5 DD (T4) and 2 charges (T2).
“You can’t say enough about her. She’s just like Olivia, she’s a gym rat, always in there working to improve her game. You saw that this year with her increase in assists, steals, rebounds and most of all, points,” Goldston explained. “She became a scoring threat and I know she’s been working really hard on that, taking the ball to the hole more, making sure her outside jumper is on. We couldn’t get the ball up the floor like that without her, she’s the quarterback!
“She is the leader on the floor. Her being there early with Olivia at every practice, that’s huge. It’s what it takes to win in the league and to leave a legacy. I talk to them all the time about a legacy and what you’re going to leave. The impression you leave on all the girls behind you, they all want to be like Olivia or Keziah, that’s enormous.”

Contreras ranked in the Top 10 of four GEL stats. Per game, she averaged 2.5 assists (3rd) and steals (T6), respectively. The senior sharpshooter recorded 19 3PM (9th) and 4 charges (1st).
“Mostly it was because of her defense, leadership and always being there for her team,” Goldston recalled. “She was voted captain this year, which was a big step for her because it requires a little bit of a better understanding of the team and how they want to see the team go and progress. She was a big part of that.”
Thorpe tallied 6.9 rebounds (8th) and 0.5 blocks (T10). The backup post totaled 88 FGM (7th) and 6 DD (3rd).
“She was super excited. It was good for her to see that her hard work and modeling what Olivia has done is paying off for her,” Goldston explained about the first team selection. “She joined the AAU program over at Pioneer and is playing in the spring and summer for them, which is always good to see.”
Christian averaged 7.6 rebounds (6th) and 0.5 blocks (T10). The senior recorded 28 FTM (T7) and 2 charges (T2) and DD (T8), respectively. When asked how Christian earned a second team selection, Goldston said one word: toughness.
“In summer league, one of the other team’s centers came up to me and said, ‘Is Marissa coming tonight? Because I’m scared.’ That just speaks volumes and she was in other girls’ heads because of how physical she plays, it becomes a mental game. That was huge,” Goldston recalled. “She is one of the toughest girls that I’ve ever met. She is dedicated, comes in, works and wants to understand the plays before she starts going. I kind of look at her as the Dennis Rodman of our team, all I needed her to do was get rebounds.
“If she gets points and steals, that’s just an added bonus. Having that 7-10 rebounds a night out of her, you can’t ask any more. She just goes out there, does the work, puts in time and is tough! It doesn’t get any tougher than Marissa! I’ve coached Marissa since she was 8 and she has been the exact same way the entire time. That girl doesn’t back down.”
Per game, Navarro racked up 3.9 steals (3rd), 2.2 assists (4th) and 0.6 blocks (9th). The superb sophomore totaled 22 3PM (T7) and 2 charges (T2).
“She’s another hard worker. The big theme for our team this year was, ‘You’ve gotta put in work.’ If you’re going to be a champion, you’re going to put in that time to repeat as champion. I was glad we did it this year and she was a huge part of the team,” Goldston explained. “Being a sophomore is not always easy but she handled the pressure really well and was shooting. I remember the first Mira Loma game, she came out on fire, came back to the bench one time, looked at us and said, ‘Man I feel like Steph Curry right now,’ because she couldn’t miss and it made us all laugh.
“I told them all the time that ‘shooters shoot’ and ‘don’t stop if you’re missing, keep shooting.’ She took it to heart, didn’t stop putting them up and helped us to an outstanding record for the year.”
Christian, Contreras, Gill, Elizabeth Lopez and Natali Rico are the five graduates from this year’s roster. Contreras and Gill will play at College of the Sequoias for former Butte College coach Tyler Newton, who was hired in April to lead the Giants of Visalia.
“I tell them, ‘Please if you want to play, let me know and I’ll do everything I can.’ Constantly texting coaches and getting on different websites really helps them. That’s part of my job and what I’m here for is to get them to the next level if they want to,” Goldston said. “That’s something that Ava said to me last year was to play at the next level. I think it’s great that they go together because some familiarity, being away from home, that being their first taste of college life, having somebody there you know and close on the team can only benefit both of them.
“It’s close enough that coach can drive down there and see them. I plan on heading down there a few times next year to watch them play. I’m super excited about it!”
After eight years as head coach, Goldston stepped down in March. He led the Patriots to three GEL titles (outright in 2023), 121-51 overall and a 58-18 record in league play. Pioneer was 25-4 overall, had an 11-1 GEL record and a 19-game winning streak this past season. The Patriots shared the league championship with Rio Linda after the road team won each matchup between the league rivals.
“I’m forever grateful,” Goldston proclaimed. “There’s a lot of relationships and friendships made, a lot of people that I consider family and would do anything for. When you go out in public, see the girls, they give you a hug and call you ‘coach,’ that’s what it’s all about, family. Looking back, I started when my daughter Marissa was a sophomore. I coached it all the right way, we did all the right things. I’ve got no regrets, love and am proud of all the girls that came through the program, a couple of them are playing pro ball right now.
“Seeing Olivia and Ava go play at Sequoias, I can’t wait to go watch KML, Naomi and Peyton wherever they play, knowing I was a part of that. It’s all the reward that I need.”
