Bill Mazeroski's game-ending homer in the 9th inning of game 7 at Forbes Field was indeed pretty spectacular. Growing up a few hours north of Pittsburgh had me seeing that footage being replayed throughout all my early years in Pennsylvania. When the City of Pittsburgh tore down Forbes Field (to replace it with Three-Rivers Stadium in the early 1970s) they re-developed the site of the former ballpark (into a shopping mall, of all things!) but....they preserved that section of the left-field wall (where his homer went over it) as a shrine to that fateful day in 1960. Three-Rivers Stadium is now gone as well, replaced by yet-another monstrous edifice. I haven't been there in over 30-years, but I'd like think that the little piece of Mazeroski's wall is still there.
