Why Willie Mays' 'The Catch' remains one of the most legendary baseball plays of all time
Posted Jul 5, 2024
Willie Mays was one of the most gifted all-around players ever and his signature play -- and one of the most iconic plays in baseball history -- was "The Catch." In Game 1 of the 1954 World Series, Mays took extra bases away from Cleveland first baseman Vic Wertz. I'm certain you've seen this highlight before, but you might as well watch it again.
