October 13th, 1960. Forbes Field, Pittsburgh Pennsylvania. The Yankees had just embarrassed the Pirates 24 hours ago, winning game 6 of the World Series in Pittsburgh by a score of 12-0. How could the Pirates hope to a beat a star-studded Yankees team led by future Hall of Fame members Whitey Ford, Mickey Mantle, and Yogi Berra in game 7? How about a miracle? Well, that’s exactly what the Pirates got. In the bottom of the 9th inning, with Game 7 of the World Series tied at 9, Bill Mazeroski hit a walk-off home run.
