While "The Catch" is one of the greatest moments in Baseball history, VERY few original photos of the moment were taken and even fewer exist. This example is a clean view of the moment it all happened with Mays holding the ball a second after the catch, hat falling off, and starting his turn toward the infield to throw the ball back in. Impressive clarity and a true piece of American sports history. Photo comes with a long paper caption and it dates to the late 1950's and stamped by the United Press.
