So, I’m not a baseball fan in any sense of the word, but even I have to admit this is an amazing catch. On this date in 1954, Willie Mays made his famous over-the-shoulder catch in World Series Game One. This is iconically referred to as “the Catch.” This kept the Cleveland Indians from stepping into the lead, and the New York Giants won this game and eventually swept the series.
