1. Mays does appear on the list

for San Francisco.

Willie Mays (Giants, 1958-72)

How spoiled are San Francisco fans? Not only did arguably some of the greatest football players of all time call the city home, but the same can be said for baseball. Mays could do it all on the baseball field. In his prime, he was the best all-around player the game had ever seen. Though fans were slow to embrace Mays after the Giants moved from New York, he won them over with his play and is the ultimate Giants icon today. There's a reason his statue greets people at the entrance to the ballpark, and there's a reason AT&T Park's official address is 24 Willie Mays Plaza. He's without question the greatest player in Giants history.

It would be interesting to see if any athlete made the list for two cities. (The next most obvious candidate, Reggie Jackson, didn't make the NY cut, either.)
