*** The Most Dramatic Home Run in World Series History ***In the bottom of the ninth in Game 7 of the wild 1960 World Series, Bill Mazeroski of the underdog Pittsburgh Pirates toppled the mighty New York Yankees. ***The World Series has produced many moments of incredible drama, but only in 1960 has the Fall Classic ended with a Game 7 home run. That World Series was among the wildest in baseball history as the New York Yankees outscored the Pittsburgh Pirates, 55-27, and second baseman Bobby Richardson won the Most Valuable Player award. It came in a losing cause, though, as Pittsburgh second baseman Bill Mazeroski authored an incredible conclusion to an unforgettable series.The Pirates were huge underdogs against the dynastic New York Yankees, who had captured 16 World Series titles since Pittsburgh’s last title in 1925. While the Yankees occupied baseball’s penthouse, the Pirates languished in its basement. The perennial doormats were so downtrodden that Hollywood cast them as a major league team in need of divine intervention in the 1951 movie, “Angels in the Outfield.”
