Someone posted the original photo used on the 1956 Topps artwork for the Hank Aaron card. You can tell it's definitely Willie Mays and not Hank Aaron in the action photo.

Wes Westrum is sure taking his sweet ass time getting to the plate to tell Willie whether to slide or not!!

btw you can tell it's mays in the 56 aaron card because they had different body types. Mays was more square in the midsection.

I stand corrected. Mays was safe - at least that is what the umpired called. The play occurred on May 22, 1952 against the Cardinals. Here is a photo from a split second after the one already posted.
