Willie Mays took playing center field to a new level in game 1 of the 1954 World Series. He made an amazing over-the-shoulder catch of a shot hit by Cleveland Indians first baseman Vic Wertz. It would have likely been a triple or even an inside of the park depending on how the ball bounced around in deep centerfield. Instead, it was a long out!
"The catch" started the legend of Willie Mays, from playing defense to being perhaps the most complete player ever.
