Willie Howard Mays, Jr., nicknamed "The Say Hey Kid", is an American former Major League Baseball center fielder who spent almost all of his 22-season career playing for the New York/San Francisco Giants, before finishing with the New York Mets. If Willie played today he would be a human highlight reel. Remember, Willie missed two seasons in the army and then played most of his career at the Stick. If Willie played in Atlanta or Detroit or Milwaukee or really just about anywhere other than SF he's easily at 760 HR. Of course then he wouldn't be on this list would he? Nonetheless, with apologies to Babe Ruth, Mays is the greatest baseball player of all time and easily the greatest athlete in SF history.
He had the hits, the stolen bases, the Home runs, and rbis and was a whiz kid.
660 home runs, hall of fame

Wilt's "prime" was so unworldly, folks today simply don't believe it or dismiss it. The greatest physical specimen in the history of basketball, maybe even the human race. However, he was just passing through, and was not really "of" San Francisco.
Only played a couple of seasons with the Warriors, but it was during his spectacular prime.
