Description: Willie Mays Autographed "The Catch" Framed Photograph (Available in 2 Options) An 8x10 photograph of this timeless play is one of the most famous in the San Francisco Giants baseball history. 60 years ago, Hall of Famer Willie Mays made "The Catch." It came in New York's Polo Grounds, in the first game of the 1954 World Series. With the score tied late in the game, Indians first baseman Vic Wertz clubbed a long drive to deep centerfield at the Polo Grounds. At the crack of the bat, Mays turned his back to the plate, raced for the outfield wall, glanced up at the last minute, and pulled the ball in over his shoulder. Nearly 430 feet from the plate, he whirled and threw on a line to the infield. The play killed the Indians' threat, and the New York Giants went on to win the game and sweep the Series. Hand-signed by Willie Mays. BTG exclusive full descriptive plate with the Giants logo, along with "The Catch".
