On April 12, 1960 a new ballpark was opened in San Francisco. While not a huge success and quickly discarded among the best venues in the game, Candlestick Park is nonetheless a piece of baseball history. Here, Hall of Famer Willie mays hits the deck after being brushed back by pitcher Russ Christopher. An impressive image of Mays and taken on one of the most important days in San Francisco baseball history! This is a large image in pretty nice shape overall, likely unique and offered here for the first time ever fresh out of a newspaper archive.
