Written on back: "Manager Bill Rigney, right, places a San Francisco Giants cap on Willie Mays during a press conference at Seals Stadium here today. Willie's first exclamation when he viewed the field was a smiling, 'This park's too big, man,' and added, 'It will take a good belt for a home run.' The Giants next year play in the former home of the Pacific Coast League San Francisco Seals while their new home is constructed. The layout is more square than the Polo Grounds in New York measuring 350 feet to right field, 404 to center and 365 to left. Mays arrived here today from Panama to appear with an All-Star team.
