Mays was once quoted as saying his greatest catch wasn't the Wertz catch (which I believe is the greatest ever to put in my two cents worth), but rather one where he ran into the outfield wall full speed and caught a ball hit by Jackie Robinson, getting knocked cold momentarily in the process. When he regained his wits, Robinson was standing there and Mays remarked he was impressed with Robinson's concern. Robinson reported said all he wanted was to see if Mays really caught the d*** ball.
