PHOTOS: Crosscutters vs. Renegades – 7/21/09
Last night I went to Historic Bowman Field to watch the Williamsport Crosscutters play against the Hudson Valley Renegades. I looked for an ’09 Team Set but they won’t get those in for another few weeks, so I picked up an older set from 2005 that I didn’t have. Harry Kalas was on the front of their 2009 program so I got one and was able to get Luke Wertz and Korey Noles to sign it. I got some great photos and even caught a foul ball!!!

The Catch and the Card
Willie Mays made one of the best plays ever in baseball, the “Catch”. Mays caught the ball right over his head which was the best part. Vic Wertz was the guy who hit the ball and Mays made that great catch. Topps made a memorabilia card of both players in their Topps Tribute product a few years ago. There are only 54 copies of this card, which is funny because 1954 was the year the “Catch” took place. It has to be one of the best dual memorabilia cards produced. The card features a bat piece from Wertz and a glove piece from Mays.
