Reply to "The Twilight Zone"

[Spooky music, flying eyeball, then you hear the same voice:]

"Welcome to - THE TWILIGHT ZONE."

It's September 29, 1954 and you are in Manhattan at the Polo Grounds seated in the stands to see Game 1 of the World Series between the Cleveland Indians and the New York Giants.

It's the top of the 8th inning with the score tied 1 to 1. Vic Wertz of Cleveland comes to the plate with men on 1st and 2nd base.

Don Little of New York is pitching in relief of Sal Maglie and the count is 2 balls and 1 strike.

Little winds up, here's the pitch:

There's a drive to deep center field, a young centerfielder known as the "Say Hey Kid" runs a long way, he's feet from home plate, he reaches up, - by Golly, he's got it!  The great Willie Mays makes "The Catch." His hat falls off. Then, he twirls his body and makes a tremendous throw back to the infield as he  falls to the ground.
