1955 Portrait photograph of Hall of Famer Willie Mays of the New York Giants and seen holding his bat at the ballpark and posing for photographers. Stamped on the back by the International News and despite some crazing and a staple hole, the image itself is one of the best ever taken of Mays. Although it is dated 1958 on the back, the stamps and uniform are more consistent to a c. 1954-55 image.
