Willie Mays’ Catch
The Willie Mays’ catch is one of the greatest catches in major league baseball history, if not the most famous. Fans refer to his over-the-shoulder basket catch as “The Catch”. During the 1954 World Series, the New York Giants were playing the Cleveland Indians. It was Game 1 in the 8th inning and the score was tied 2-2 when Mays made the catch, robbing Vic Wertz of a base hit. Not only did Willie make the catch, but he hurled the ball into the infield, preventing runners from stealing any bases. The Giants went on to win the game in extra innings, and the World Series altogether.
