For years, this was considered one of the greatest catches. Willie Mays, 1954 World Series. Over the shoulder and
a huge amount of distance to cover because of the size of the Polo Grounds. His throw was perfection.

Mays Amazes

Mays’s catch kept the game tied, allowing the Giants to win the game 5-2 in the tenth inning off of Dusty Rhodes’s pinch-hit home run. Many consider it the greatest catch in baseball history, but some say the throw was even better. With such a deep center field at the Polo Grounds, players regularly scored from second after tagging up. Mays’s throw was right on the money, only allowing the runner at second to get to third. The Giants went on to win the World Series in four games.RANK: 85 LOCATION: Polo Grounds | New York, NY DATE: 9/29/1954 CATEGORY: MLB
