"The Catch" is all you need to say in a room of sports fans and instantly people know you are talking about the play that Willie Mays made off a deep drive from Vic Wertz in the 1954 World Series. The angled shot from home plate has been reproduced a million times, but this offered image is a rarely seen "Other Angle" photograph from center field with Mays just a few feet away. A fantastic original from the Associated Press, this is stamped on the back and has the paper caption present as well.
