... as far as hitting goes, anyway.
Apropros of the 60 Pirates, though, it just goes to show how if your highlights aren't in color, your reputation suffers. Only one World Series has been won by a home run in the bottom of the 9th of the 7th game. You would think, ya know, that that would be the greatest-ever WS moment. But it isn't, according to fans it is only number FIVE.
Okay, it was the Pirates unexpectedly (and undeservedly, boo hoo to all the sour grapers out there) winning against the beloved Yankees. And it was Bill Mazeroski, not some all-time great power hitter. And it was in black and white. But seriously... even Bill Buckner's error gets a higher rating.
