Bill Mazeroski’s Walk-Off
During Game 7 of the 1960 World Series, Bill Mazeroski who was playing for the Pittsburgh Pirates had a walk-off home run. In case you never got to watch this for yourself, let us remind you that this is the first and only of its kind. Bill and his team advanced to Game 7, giving the favored NY Yankees a run for their money. It was the bottom of the 9th and the score was tied at 9-9, Bill was up at bat and on the second pitch, he sent the ball over the outfield wall, ending the game in a win for the Pirates. Bearing in mind that Bill was famous for his skills on the field, and not at-bat, makes this play that more renowned. The 1960 World Series is also quite unforgettable for being the only time the MVP award was given to a player on the losing team. Impressive, right?
