Willie Mays Signed "The Catch" Photo

This photo is of Willie Mays making his iconic "Catch" in the 1954 World Series!

The Catch was made September 29, 1954, during Game 1 of the 1954 World Series at the Polo Grounds in Upper Manhattan, New York City.

During the eighth inning with the score tied 2–2, Cleveland Indians batter Vic Wertz hit a deep fly ball to center field that was poised to score the runners on base. However, Mays made an over-the-shoulder catch while on the run to record the out, and his throw back to the infield prevented the runners from advancing. The Giants won the game 5–2 in extra innings, and eventually the World Series. The Catch is regarded as one of the greatest plays in baseball history.

The Cause

Charity-Love aims to work to facilitate the growth of disadvantaged Caribbean youths ages 12-17 and develop meaningful relationships and connections with the community.

The style we use is through the Arts which had been our core project which we had aimed in the past to make fun / inspiring and exciting. Now we have shifted gears to computer distributions in the homes of our youths. The pandemic has forced the closure of schools. Youths are using online learning and many homes lack computers.

Our value is to inform and inspire our target audience so they can enjoy not only the Arts but continuing their education with computers.

Our goals are to have volunteers instruct parents and children how to operate computers, expand to offer services to parents/ care givers how to use online learning sources and have a repair section when computer services are required. We plan to achieve these goals by fund raising, donations and volunteer services.

With the change in times we want our youths to learn and engage in technology. The pandemic has changed our traditional classroom and we want our youths to adapt through technology with the change to be successful and contributors to society at home and worldwide.
