About this listen

 Bill Mazeroski was the embodiment of stellar defense, winning 8 Gold Glove Awards, playing his entire 17 year career with the Pittsburgh Pirates, while setting the record for the most double-plays turned and assists in baseball history. But he is most remembered for arguably the greatest home run ever hit in the game. Almost every kid who has ever swung a bat at a competitive pitch has fantasized about coming up in the bottom of the ninth inning, during game 7 of the World Series, and hitting the championship clinching home run. Only one person in the long history of the game has ever realized this dream, and his name was William Stanley Mazeroski. This is his story #BillMazeroski #Maz #PittsburghPirates #BranchRickey #RalphTerry #ForbesField #NewYorkYankees #DickGroat #GeneAlley #DickSchoefield #DaveCash #WheelingWestVirgina #YogiBerra
