When I was a kid playing ball we would always try to emulate that catch while practicing. Talk about an iconic catch, and awesomely recorded with that card. I think that catch made an icon out of Vic Wertz too. I hit my first card shop when I was 11 years old (1981) and my first purchase was a Vic Wertz card because I couldn't afford the Willie Mays, my favorite player at that time.


What was equally iconic as that catch was the throw afterwards!!!

Thanks for sharing Leon...
