Giant Action in a Diagram Form

(Original Caption) Here's a photo-diagram of the Polo Grounds Diamond as Willie Mays made his sensational 8th inning catch on Vic Wertz's 450 foot fly to centerfield. Wertz, rounding first, watches Mays make the plate grab. Willie had to run and run to get it. Rosen, midway between first and second, heads back to first. Doby goes back to second to tag up. He made third on the throw. Wertz was the only batter relief hurler Liddle faced. Giant Manager Durocher pulled him out, replacing him with Marv Grissom who retired the next two Indian batters, ending the inning. Giants beat Cleveland in the series opener, 5-2, on Dusty Rhode's pinch 3-run homer in the 10th.
