Willie Mays' over-the-shoulder grab in the 1954 World Series ' wasn't no lucky catch' Mays raced at top speed toward the center-field wall at the spacious Polo Grounds and somehow managed to track down and corral a fast-traveling ball.
It became the most iconic moment in the Hall of Famer’s decorated career that featured 660 home runs.
Mays was considered by many to be the Greatest Living Ballplayer before he died at age 93 .
Bonds: "There’s a lot of people who made great catches in the game of baseball. But he happens to be one of the best baseball players. That does make it seem a lot better," Bonds said.
"I think we’ve had our moments in catches in catches. I think his longevity of his career is more important than just the catch".
