Full at bat, with Lindsey Nelson doing the play-by-play. In his debut with the New York Mets, Willie Mays leads off the 5th inning in a 4-4 game with the San Francisco Giants at Shea Stadium with a solo home run to left for the eventual winning run (5-4 final). Photos shown in video are actually from this game. Short clip from the TV feed is synced as well (at 2:33).
