What better way to remember the man who made the most famous catch in the history of the sport than with a game worn glove? We can't think of any. "Willie Mays Personal Model G101 MacGregor" glove saw action on the left hand of the Hall of Fame center fielder, before he passed it on to another fan favorite named Rocky Colavito, who used it briefly before hanging it up as the valuable relic it is. Note that the thumb of the glove has "Rocky" in fading black marker from its days in Colavito's locker. The NRMT signature in the lightly used palm of the glove reads, "Best Wishes, Willie Mays." Acquired from Colavito by our consignor, a longtime collector with terrific contacts. LOA.
