Pirates Hall of Famer Bill Mazeroski passes away at 89 - Yahoo Sports

The little guy did what no other man in MLB history has done.
That being the only player to hit a walk-off, game-seven-winning HR in World Series history.

Maz did what every Little Leaguer could only dream of doing.
Single-handling torpedo the mighty, mighty Yankees.

God needs another second baseman. He called up a great one.
RIP, sir, you did every one of us Little Leaguers proud.

Ralph Terry hangs a bleeding meatball to Maz, man, his eyes must have lit up when he realized Uncle Charlie wasn't going to bend.
I had trouble with the curveball.
Bill knew exactly what to do with this yakker.

The golden age of baseball, Chucky.
Back when Maury Wills and Lou Brock didn't need any stinking oven mitts to steal second base.

Back when baseball and horse racing were KIngs.

Went back and did my reading on the 1960 series. Was famous for a few things:
1) Yanks outscored the Pirates, 55-27. Shouldn't have been close.
2) The Mazeroski HR to seal it.
3) Clemente in his prime (at age 26). Clemente's brilliance could impact a game in so many ways. Kept the Pirates in it until Maz hit the Home Run.
