This wonderful 19-1/2" x 26-1/2" lithograph captures Willie Mays' spectacular over-the-shoulder catch of Vic Wertz' liner in the 1954 World Series in front of the Polo Grounds' centerfield clubhouse. Just as striking as Mays' image is the distinct detail of the bleacherites in zoot suits, carrying binoculars, even one in a Navy uniform, and of clubhouse attendants peering through windows under a giant "Chesterfield" sign. The near mint lithograph is mounted in a green frame and is accompanied by an upper reserved seat ticket stub from the game in VG condition.
