I now see that it looks like the Polo Grounds had a cut-out in center field that was 483 feet, and Mays was to the right of that, so at least according to Wikipedia, there is some controversy about exactly how far he had to go to make the catch.

Semi OT: Larry Scirrotto chooses being a ref

@DT_PITT et al: have you seen a game officiated by Scirrotto?
Not one that I can recall Moe. I dont think he does games in the ACC. Big 10 I seem to recall.
