Willie Mays New York Giants The Catch Ornament Overview
Honoring the transcendent grace and athleticism of ‘The Say Hey Kid,’ this commemorative holiday ornament honors Willie Mays’ over-the-shoulder grab in Game 1 of the 1954 World Series. Baseball purists and Giants fans hang this piece every December to commemorate one of the most famous defensive plays in diamond history.
Commemorative Sports Moment & Legacy
Tied 2-2 in the eighth inning at the cavernous Polo Grounds, Vic Wertz crushed a 420-foot drive toward deep center field. Mays sprinted with his back to the plate, hauled in the ball over his shoulder at full speed, and spun immediately to fire an off-balance strike that held the baserunners.
Ornament Construction & Dual-Sided Artwork
Produced from durable optical acrylic, the circular decoration features crisp double-sided printing with vintage cream, orange, and black tones. The sublimation process infuses pigments into the disc, ensuring long-term color fidelity without peeling.
Holiday Tree Hanging & Fan Cave Display
Measuring three to four inches across, the disc hangs cleanly on Christmas trees, office garland, or sports curio shelves. Its pre-attached satin ribbon simplifies hanging without metallic hooks.
Seasonal Care & Long-Term Preservation
Clean with a dry microfiber cloth to keep the acrylic surface clear. Store inside a padded container to guard against scratches.
