Willie Mays June 4, 1962 Sports Illustrated Magazine Cover
Description
A color slide of the cover of the June 4, 1962 Sports Illustrated magazine featuring Willie Mays, seen in a full-length batting position. The photograph is from the third base side of the field near home plate. Mays is in the right-handed batter's box and has just finished his swing with the baseball bat in his left hand, pointing over the catcher's head. His upper body twists to his left toward the camera as he swings, and his right knee drops close to the ground. He is wearing a San Francisco Giants home uniform and is looking over his right arm toward the field. An unknown catcher is kneeling behind home plate. He is wearing a catcher's mask and chest protector. The blurry background shows Giants manager Al Dark standing in the dugout.
