Bill Mazeroski, 89, Dead; 1960 World Series Hero

Bill Mazeroski, the Pittsburgh Pirates icon who ended the 1960 World Series with a legendary ninth-inning home run, has died at the age of 89.

The infielder, celebrated more for his glove than his bat, delivered the decisive blow in Game 7 against the powerhouse New York Yankees, securing the championship for Pittsburgh.

His walk-off home run remains one of the most iconic moments in baseball history, bringing immense joy to the city of Pittsburgh.
