Forbes Field - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania: On October 13, 1960 @3:36 PM, Pittsburgh Pirate Hall of Fame Second Baseman, Bill Mazeroski, hits the greatest and most memorable homerun in Major League Baseball history off New York Yankees pitcher Ralph Terry. The renowned game winning shot, which capped off the best World Series game of all time, occurred in the bottom of the ninth inning of game seven of the 1960 World Series against Casey Stengel's heavily favored New York Yankees. Could there have been a more dramatic homerun? Today, some 50 years later, Maz's blast is still the only Game 7, 9th-inning walk-off home run in World Series history. Watch Maz's historic homerun as called by Hall of Fame broadcaster Chuck Thompson; "Well, a little while ago, when we mentioned that this one, in typical fashion, was going right to the wire, little did we know; Art Ditmar throws—There's a swing and a high fly ball going deep to left, this may do it! Back to the wall goes Berra, it is over the fence, home run, the Pirates win!"

The last World Series game ever at Forbes Field had a climatic ending, with the only walk-off World Series-winning home run ever hit in a National League stadium. Thirty-three years later, Toronto's Joe Carter hit the only walk-off World Series-ending home run ever hit in an American League stadium (SkyDome, now Rogers Centre).

It was a great home run, but unfortunately it got an undeserving player into the Hall of Fame.

This and the Joe Carter 1993 World Series winning walk off homerun are THE two greatest moments of all time in Baseball

@bass4onelastfriday Yeah I know that but the score was tied, I think the Hal Smith homer was the big one. , They were down 3 runs and scored 5 to go ahead. If they held the Yanks scoreless in the top of the 9th, Mazeroski would have never come up. Eveyone expected them to win once they took the lead. The Giants came back from the dead.

@mmcckkgg but there's a difference between the deciding game of the pennant and game 7 of the world series.

60 years later and nothing beats the Thompson homer.. The bucs had a tie score but the Giants were 2 runs down and just about dead.
