Huge 1954 action photograph of the most talented baseball player in the game, Willie Mays, and from the year he won the World Series with the Giants as he takes a pitch in a game at what appears to be Wrigley Field in Chicago. A fine piece of photography in its own right, the reverse of this photo bears a stamp that takes it to the next level, identifying it as a LIFE Magazine photo by rock star lens man Alfred Eisenstaedt! Crystal clear and bold, this is the only original example of this image we have ever seen and it is incredible as it presents here in such a large size. One of the top images from the golden era of baseball we have ever offered and in nice shape overall with minimal creasing to the corners. A work of art from a true master of photography, this was consigned to us with a portrait photo from Eisenstaedt (2 total images) that sold for over $5700 in our Summer Premier Auction!
