Om denne bog

Though Willie Mays'' World Series catch of Vic Wertz''s long drive in 1954 immediately comes to mind, there are many catches that have been called "the greatest." This work documents baseball''s best catches by outfielders from 1887 through 1964 (the year of Duke Snider''s retirement, the demolition of the Polo Grounds, and, arguably, Willie Mays'' last great grab).

After introductory chapters on factors that influenced the catches and their legacies--from ballpark quirks, changes to the baseball and the evolution of baseball gloves, to sportswriters and photography--the book describes famous catches by decade from such players as Mays, Willie Keeler, Joe DiMaggio, Duke Snider, Roberto Clement, Curt Flood and many others. Extensive research yields a wealth of information for each catch, including commentary by period sportswriters, players, and, often, the man who snagged the ball.
