Description: 1959 Topps Baseball #464 - Willie Mays "Baseball Thrills - The Catch" - SGC 4 On the Player - Willie Howard Mays Jr. (1931-2024), fondly referred to as "the Say Hey Kid," solidified his place as arguably the greatest MLB centerfielder in history. Mays showcased his extraordinary talent primarily with the New York/San Francisco Giants (1951–1952, 1954–1972), later joining the New York Mets (1972-1973). Beginning his career with the Birmingham Black Barons in the Negro Leagues, Mays earned his status as one of the finest players in Major League Baseball history, ranking second only to Babe Ruth in various all-time records. Mays boasts an impressive array of accolades, including 24 All-Star selections, 12 Gold Glove awards, the 1951 National League Rookie of the Year title, two-time NL Most Valuable Player (1954, 1965), and membership in the 1954 World Series champion New York Giants. On the Set - The 1959 Topps baseball card series stands as the largest collection ever presented, featuring 572 players. Introducing new subsets dedicated to emerging rookies and captivating baseball moments, one such iconic moment immortalized was Willie Mays' unforgettable World Series catch in 1954. This unparalleled over-the-shoulder snag of a deep drive by Vic Wertz during Game 1 of the 1954 World Series remains one of baseball's most enduring thrills.
