When Willie Mays made his miracle catch
And the stadium missed a giant heart beat,
The cameras were there poised and ready;
A series photos preserves now the feat.
With his back to the plate, and his eyes off the ball
(Black 24 on a familiar white back),
Racing with knowledge, ignoring the wall
Deep in dead center, almost at the track,
He made his impossible cradling catch.
The Day Satchel Paige and the Pittsburgh Crawfords Came to Hertford, N.C.
