1962 Pre-season baseball game which shows Willie Mays wearing a batting helmet for the first time ever as he was being forced by the league. Willie had resisted for years to wear the protective gear, but on this day his hands were tied and with it died a previous generation of ballplayers that were tough as nails and played with no fear! An original and rare image in great shape with this being the first we have seen from this event!
