Not bad-mouthing at all . ..merely noting that even many of the greatest have feet of clay. I yield to no one in my admiration of RBG; however, had she retired during Obama's terms, she could have been replaced by another progressive. Her staying on through Trump cost the progressive bloc a critical seat. As for Willie, the greatest position player of all time, he stayed on for a couple of barely-over-.200 seasons at the end. Why? He couldn't have needed either the money or the glory. FDR was another who stayed on too long, running for a 4th term when he was clearly dying. Very sad.
Bad mouthing RBG and Willie Mays? Leave them alone.
