Featured here is Willie Mays' 2002 San Francisco Giants National League Championship ring awarded to the legendary Hall of Famer in recognition of the Giants' NL pennant-winning season. Presented to Mays as the franchise's most revered icon, the ring represents a meaningful intersection of the club's modern success and the enduring legacy of the greatest Giant, if not the greatest player ever in baseball.
Crafted by Masters of Design in 14-karat gold, the ring's centerpiece displays the Giants' distinctive "G" logo accented by inset diamonds and surrounded by the inscription, "Giants National League Champions." Two brilliant-cut diamonds further enhance the design, contributing a combined weight of approximately .14 carats. One side panel is personalized with the name "Mays" and features a detailed relief rendering of Pacific Bell Park (later AT&T and now Oracle), while the opposite shank showcases a "2002 Champs" pennant above a series of seventeen smaller pennants commemorating the franchise's previous National League titles. The interior band is stamped with the "14K" hallmark. It comes in size 10½ and weighs 52 grams, showing light wear and presenting in wonderful condition. (Note: that this ring is a rarer version than active players on the 2002 roster and several staff members received. See lot 298 for the more common version.)
Accompanying the ring is its original mahogany presentation box, complete with an engraved brass plaque reading, "2002 National League Champions Giants Willie Mays." Also included is the original white fiberboard outer box, bearing handwritten and printed notations identifying the ring as Mays' personal Giants championship presentation piece, including "WM-Ring Giant logo" and "SF Giants Size 10.5 Willie Mays."
Any ring awarded exclusively to Willie Mays occupies a unique place within the hobby, combining the appeal of championship memorabilia with provenance from arguably the greatest ever to play our National Pastime. Originating from Willie Mays' personal collection with a Mays Collection certificate of authenticity, this handsome National League Champions ring represents an outstanding opportunity to acquire a personal artifact worn by the Say Hey Kid himself.
