The piece on Willie Mays’s “second” greatest catch (“My Brush With History,” November) was good reading, but the catch was made in New York’s former Polo Grounds, not Cleveland’s Municipal Stadium. The odd shape of the Polo Grounds made for a very deep center field, thus allowing Mays room to run under Wertz’s fly ball.
