Mayes-style catch by Clemson player vs Florida just last week in Omaha:
I saw this play when it happened. Great catch but not nearly so good as Mays. That Clemson player had the ball hit off the heel of his glove and he was able to trap it against his body, so some degree of luck. The thing about Willie’s catch is how quickly he wheeled and got the ball back to the infield. Say Hey to the angels

Willie Mays glove. Where triples go to die.
Classic.

Give me a $1.2 million annuity for the next 25 years. Please.
