House Speaker Nancy Pelosi tried to honor baseball legend Willie Mays for
his 90th birthday Thursday but fouled out when the 81-year-old pol instead
tweeted out a smiling photo of herself — with Willie McCovey.

McCovey and the Say Hey Kid are both black Hall of Famers who played
together for almost two decades for the San Francisco Giants. The Dem boss
apparently has smiling images of herself with both men.

McCovey died in 2018 at 80.

After the mistake was noticed, the photo was quickly swapped out for one
with Pelosi and Mays.

It’s unclear how long the embarrassing post lingered on the speaker’s
Twitter account. Her office fobbed the issue off to a staffer error.

“A staffer inadvertently selected the wrong photo for the tweet,” Team
Pelosi said in a statement to CBS San Francisco. “The photo we wanted to
use was of the speaker and Willie Mays at Willie McCovey’s August 2018
wedding. The quickly deleted photo was the wrong photo from the right
wedding. We apologize for the error.”

The corrected tweet went on: “Happy 90th birthday to an all-American icon,
Willie Mays. A trailblazing, record-breaking baseball player, civil rights
leader, and champion for youth sports and well-being, Willie Mays is a
civic legend and national treasure. #SayHey90,” Pelosi said.

“On his 90th birthday, we remember Willie Mays growing up with injustice
and blazing a trail, first in the Negro Leagues, and then as a Hall of
Famer in Major League Baseball with the Giants,” she added in a longer
statement also shared to Twitter. “We celebrate his lasting impact,
through his Say Hey Foundation and the Willie Mays Boys and Girls Club of
San Francisco, on the legions of youth scholars and athletes he has
helped.”

Mays began his storied MLB career with the New York Giants before the club
moved to California. He retired a New York Met in 1973.

Inducted to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1979, he was awarded the Medal of
Freedom in 2015 by President Barack Obama.

Black activists told The Post the Pelosi tribute was typical of Democratic
outreach that focuses on symbols rather than fulfilling campaign promises.

“Instead of symbolic gestures, like putting up pictures of baseball
players, how about she talk about reparations,” Hawk Newsome, a New York
City Black Lives Matter activist, told The Post.

“That’s the problem with Democrats, we vote for them first and they think
about us last.”

Mays could not be reached for comment.
