Item Description

Willie Mays 8x10 w/Ticket & Plaque
“The Catch”
New York Polo Grounds
Sept 29, 1954

Plaque Reads:
It came in Game 1 of the 1954 World Series.
With the score tied late, Cleveland 1B Vic Wertz clubbed a drive to 
deep centerfield. Mays turned his back to the plate, raced for the 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 Giants went on to win the game and sweep the Series, the 
organization's fifth World Series Championship.
