Default Best Willie Mays photo I've ever seen...

Had a pretty good day antiquing today...Picked up this photo of Willie Mays in a clothing store...gigantic and period...Certainly one of the most candid and striking off field photos of Mays I've seen...I'd like the photo even if Mays weren't in it...

Also picked up another giant piece in the same store...A double sided cloth horseracing banner...Couldn't miss it hanging from the ceiling...It's stamped Paramount Flag Co. San Francisco...Without fully researching yet my guess is it came out of a S.F. Bay area race track...art work looks late 1930's - early 40's...The store did a poor job of displaying it as the sides are tiered and the whole banner will really pop when fully stretched out...
