June 30, 1955 – Willie Mays collides with catcher Rube Walker in the 8th inning of the Giants vs Dodgers game at Ebbets Field.
The play started when Gail Harris hit a grounder which 2nd baseman Junior Gilliam fielded and threw to 1st baseman Gil Hodges to rob Harris of a hit.
Hodges then saw Mays, who was on 2nd base during the Harris at bat, breaking for the plate and he threw to Walker. As Mays came charging to the plate, he flew into Walker. When Mays got up, Walker was still clutching the ball and umpire Stan Landes called Mays out on the play. Walker would suffer an injured shoulder on the play.
