Description
A slide of a black-and-white, full-length photograph of Willie Mays with New York Mayor Robert Wagner. Mays is to the right if the frame turned toward his right. Mayor Wagner is on the left of the frame, turned toward Mays. Mays stands in front of a low wire fence while the Mayor is behind it. Unknown people are sitting in the stands behind the Mayor. Mays is wearing the home uniform of the Santurce Cangrejeros with the word "Cangrejeros" across the front of the jersey. Above that is a stylized bat with two crabs at either end. The jersey also shows the number 24. The caption on a similar photo reads, "New York City Mayor Robert Wagner, visits with Giants player(s)......... Willie Mays (R) at Sixto Escobar Stadium in San Juan where (he is) playing with the local "Cangrejeros" between seasons. Wagner, who was attending the fifth Inter American Conference of Municipalities, witnessed a hot doubleheader between the San Juan and Saturce [sic] team."
