Description
This iconic image shows Willie Mays, eyes locked on the ball, returning east to Connie Mack Stadium in Philadelphia as a San Francisco rather than a New York Giant. The Giants went on to capture the National League pennant in 1962, finally falling to the Yankees in game seven of the World Series. Of Mays, Iooss simply says, “Willie exuded joy.”
