Own an extraordinary piece of baseball history with this original 8mm film reel documenting Willie Mays' historic 512th career home run at Candlestick Park on May 4, 1966.
This milestone home run came off Dodgers pitcher Claude Osteen and moved Mays past Hall of Famer Mel Ott's National League record of 511 career home runs. The blast ended Ott's remarkable 29-year reign as the National League's all-time home run leader and marked another defining chapter in Mays' legendary Hall of Fame career.
The original archival box is handwritten "Willie Mays 512th Home Run," making this an exceptional survivor from the era. Original baseball film reels documenting historic moments are rarely offered for sale and represent an incredible opportunity for advanced Willie Mays, San Francisco Giants, Candlestick Park, and baseball history collectors.
Whether displayed alongside vintage Giants memorabilia or preserved as an archival artifact, this is a remarkable piece tied directly to one of the greatest players and one of the most significant milestones in Major League Baseball history.
