Wow! Just found out today that Bing Crosby(part owner of the Pirates 1946-1977), had the ENTIRE GAME recorded by kinescope! MLB network will be airing it soon! They found 5 reels of film in Crosby's wine cellar in San Francisco. Cool and dry conditions are said to have kept the films in pristine condition! Awesome...
Glad you liked it. We're putting up an entire Video Almanac of the 20th Century sliced into sports, arts and entertainment, wars and disasters, and some other topics.
0:05 ugh, right to the throat.

WHO cares if they ever win again? THIS was a ball-buster that N.Y. will NEVER forget! Luv the Cubbies, Hell No, Love the "never again" Pirates!

I remember the one in 1979. That was good too.

The Pirates won the first game 6-4 -- the difference in the game was a home run by Bill Mazeroski... this fact always seems to get lost.

@grkent And Maz should have been the MVP of the series, NOT Richardson. 12 hits in a losing cause doesn't make you an MVP, imo.

When will the Pirates ever have a winning team again.

That man in the suit & tie that runs alongside Mazeroski on his right from 3rd base to home plate is my grandpa!

by the way, only game in world series history for a walk off home run in a game 7
dechm4af 2 years ago 3
1993 when Joe Carter hit a walk off home run for Toronto against Philadelphia the only other time
CoreyD1086 2 years ago
@CoreyD1086 You are correct BUT that was Game 6.
AnBon74 1 year ago
Carter's was in a Game 6; Maz's Walkoff was the only one ever in a Game 7 World Series!
