	The Catch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		So, with runners on first and second, Giants manager Leo Durocher summoned lefty relief pitcher Don Liddle to replace Maglie and pitch to Cleveland's Vic Wertz, also a left-hander.
		Wertz worked the count to two balls and a strike, before crushing Liddle's fourth pitch to deep center field.
		Some reports say the ball traveled 450 feet, which is an exaggeration, but in many stadiums the shot would have been a home run, giving the Indians a 5-2 lead.

		The first game of the World Series between the New York Giants and Cleveland Indians is tied 2-2 in the eighth inning when Don Liddle relieves to face Don Wertz, who already has a two-run triple, with runners on first and second and nobody out.
		Wertz cracks a drive to deep center field in the Polo Grounds, far over Mays' head.
		But Mays, traveling on the wings of the wind, races after it and with his back to the infield, catches the ball facing the right-center field bleachers, an estimated 450 feet from home plate.

	Say Hey: Remembering Willie's A-Mays-Zing Catch In 1954
		But his call after Willie Mays robbed Vic Wertz in the first game of the 1954 World Series was, if anything, too restrained.
		Wertz played 17 seasons with a.277 batting average and 266 home runs, but when he died in 1983 at age 58, the obituaries pretty much all said the same thing: "Victor Woodrow Wertz, a former major league player who was victimized by one of the most famous catches in baseball history..."
		Possibly, Vic didn't either as time went by, because Mays was all anybody remembered about that edition of what used to be called the Fall Classic.

	NetShrine Discussion Forum - Andruw and Vic
		Andruw may or may not be the equal (or better) of mays at tracking 'em down in the field, but they're probably close enough that if Mays didn't put the Vic Wertz catch in the top few of his career, then maybe Andruw would have had it too.
		While the catch that Mays made on Vic Wertz was amazing I think it may be over-romanticized because it was Mays.
		This comes from an admitted lifelong Willie 24 admirer, but the key to the Wertz catch was that it was around 460 feet away and Willie was not standing out there 440 feet.
