One of the stranest of all World Series.Pittsburgh won all four of their victories by one run.The three Yankees victories were blowouts.The Yankees outscored the Bucs by a huge margin in all seven games.

We would listen to this game on a new fangled transistor radio at recess in elementary school in San Antonio. For some reason, most of us were Pirate fans. It was a highly exciting series even though we were far away from it. Recognition to Roberto Clemente.

What did Blanchard say to Ralph Terry before the last pitch??

I was 3. Haven’t gotten over it yet.

One of the greatest moments of my young life. They let us listen in school in Bethel Park on the radio ! It was that big a deal. 🎉

Better than Thompson's nine years earlier? I don't think so!

Bob Prince doing some rapid fire interviewing lol Grabbing guys, Next

1:56: 10-0?

762, 755 , and 714?????????????

Wally Joyner was good?

HOME RUNS ARE a joke in my humble opinion???? SO UNFAIR

Jim Edmonds was really good in center field?

Pat Burrell another good hitter?????

Troy Glaus was really good but only hit 320?

Chipper Jones was a switch hitter and he only had 468?

How long has performance enhancing drugs existed?

Best moment in baseball! Bill is my cousin and he was the greatest ever! Also a wonderful, personable man. Love him!

What a crazy World Series that was!

Most underrated home run because it was hit in Pittsburgh against the beloved NY Yankees.

Huge Pirates fan but I would say it is number three behind Bobby Thompson and Bucky Dent, as those occured with their team behind. Still the greatest WS homer.

He was a man of destiny. If Casey hadn't messed up the pitching staff, the Yankees would have won. If that ball doesn't bounce up and hit Kubek on the throat there would have been no Pirate rally (5 runs!!!) and the Yankees would have won.. And if Mantle gets doubled off of first (and he was safe by a 1/4 inch), the Pirates win 9-8 but no Maz HR. So, someone up there wanted Maz to be a hero. Amazing.

This was the best clip of this game I’ve seen. Great mix of audio and video.

Bob Prince was the best !!!

Blanchard to Terry: just,lob in a hanging curve ball. What could go wrong?

looked like a hanging curve ball over the plate, mazeroski got all of it. amazing finish, showing the scoreboard underscoring the crazy ending.

Not fir nothing, just curious. Anyone know what brand beer was being offered at Fobes Field back then.🍺🍺🍺🤪

I was in fifth grade with a transistor radio with ear plug. I got home in time to see the happiest moment for me. I ran out on the front porch screaming the Pirates won! All the kids from junior high were at our house by then.

lol

That ball landed in someone’s back yard!

The announcer saying "Art Ditmar throws..." when he wasn't even in the game is a massive botch.

Terry's 1st pitch was a lollypop and Blanchard went out to talk to him. Whatever he said didn't work as Terry threw another batting practice pitch to Maz. Two years later he would do it again to McCovey but got lucky instread.

The two greatest plays in American sports history, Maz’s home run and Franco’Immaculate Reception both in the burgh!

Yankees out-scored the Pirates 55-27. In their three wins, the Yankees out-scored the Pirates by 38 - 3. Let that sink in. 38 - 3! That’s an average of 13-1 per win! Mickey Mantle literally broke down and cried after this game. I can’t say that I blame him.

The Gunner! A real fan and perhaos a "homer" radio announcer but we still love him and his memory. Gunner RIP.

The only thing that MIGHT top this is the Rajai Davis HR in game 7 this century. But in my book it tops this HR because i knew Davis and he grew up 20 minutes away from where i grew up. Our high schools play against each other. I probably watched him play ball at school when i was in MS. AND IM A CUBS FAN.

Apparently the catcher gave the pitcher the wrong advice during their mound visit.

Johnny Blanchard, the Yankee catcher here (Yogi was in LF) admitted he called for a slider but the slider forgot to slide…😳

I like how the announcer doesn't attempt to soliloquize about the HR, he's just like "and the final score is..."

If Hal Smith hadn't hit the three run homer in the 7th the Pirates may have lost.

When men looked like men , not sissies like the Beatles and Howard Stern , .

I was born 7 - 15 - 61. There's a good chance I was conceived on this great day in Pittsburgh sports history!

I wonder how much that timeout that the catcher called threw the pitcher off his rhythm?

I like how he tried to interview Everyone in the organization, and the commissioner, and the mayor😂 Nice to share the joy of that team.

It’s not just the greatest home run ever it’s the greatest play in the history of professional sports.

So the Pirates have what, four World Series wins. That's a good decade for the Yankees! Heh heh heh heh 😅 HEH HEH HEHEHE 😆

The one and only Maz

Neither team struck out. There's only been one other game since that game in which there were zero strikeouts, that was in 1987.

I was 2 years old, but I have read all about this moment since I was old enough to read. This and Bobby Thomson's '51 homer were the most dramatic in baseball history. And both were off pitchers named Ralph. I guess that's part why the name became so rare.

It didn't look like he hit it all that well.

Roberto Clemente Orgullo Boricua 🇵🇷
