good stuff OleMissCub -thanks!
I think the two photos of Mays and Hiller racing to get the fly ball happened in 1961...and comes with a story :
“ This was with two out and bases empty in the ninth, Giants leading 8-5. Here Lau (braves) put up a little pop fly back of second base. Chuck Hiller went charging out for it; Mays came charging in. Hiller had the bead on it, but it seemed the two men must collide. Then in the final instant Mays performed a sudden and entire counter-clockwise turn around Hiller as the latter reached up for the ball. And knowing the catch had been made, Willie –never having touched Hiller though they came within a feather’s breath of a grinding and perhaps disabling collision – simply continued on his way, exited the arena through the right - field bullpen door, and went to have his post game shower.
Hiller remained, marveling at the near miss. Then it occurred to him to show the ball to the nearest umpire, Dusty Boggess, so the latter could complete the formality of calling the last out. So Hiller turned to display the ball. Boggess looked. Hiller looked. Nothing. The two of them now began examining the ground. Nothing.
“ Where’s the game ball?” Borgess said.
“ I’m sure I caught it, “ Hiller said. It’s got to be around here someplace.”
There was no telecast of the game, but photographer Charlie Doherty of the Examiner did record stop-action stills of the final play. The last one in the sequence shows Hiller, convinced he had made the catch, staring open-mouthed at his empty glove.
