Willie Mays made an iconic over-the-shoulder catch in the 1954 World Series against the Cleveland Indians. Mays snared the ball before instantly releasing a throw that got less attention than the catch itself. The grab took place in the top of the eighth inning with runners on first and second in a 2-2 game. Mays recalled that if he hadn’t caught the ball, three runs would have scored for Cleveland.
