Mazeroski's blast

[u/Strict_Process157]

On this day in 1960, Maz shocked the world. This day is still celebrated in Pittsburgh. On the University of Pittsburgh campus, the piece of the ivy-covered Forbes Field wall where Bill Mazeroski's shot sailed over Yogi's head still stands. Across the street, the original home plate still resides in its original location in a glass case on the first floor of the Law School building. People still gather every year to listen to a rebroadcast of the game synced Maz's home run at 3:36 pm. How awesome!

After the game, Pirate announcer Bob Prince, gave a historically generic interview in the dugout with Maz. Prince later said that he was setting up to interview the Yankees, heard the crowd go nuts, and switched dugouts without asking how the Pirates won. He said later how embarrassed he felt when his wife told him Maz won the game with a walk-off home run.

Here is the box score for Game 7.

This is still a proud team and a proud fanbase. Please enjoy my cards.

Magical day! Once I took a poster-sized printout of that above image of Maz to a Bucs game at Yankee Stadium. One old guy near me got so mad!
