Leading off the bottom of the ninth inning of Game 7 of the 1960 World Series, Bill Mazeroski homered over the left-field wall at Pittsburgh's Forbes Field to give the Pirates a 10-9 triumph over the New York Yankees and their first Series championship in 35 years.

Yogi Berra. Yankees' longtime catcher who was in left field when Mazeroski hit his climactic homer in the October 13 game.

John Blanchard. Yankees' catcher when Mazeroski homered.

Joe DeMaestri. Yankees' utility infielder who replaced Tony Kubek in the eighth inning when the New York shortstop was struck in the throat by a bad-hop grounder.

Harvey Haddix. Pirates' winning pitcher who replaced reliever Bob Friend with two on and no one out in the Yankees' ninth.

Tony Kubek. Struck in the throat by Bill Virdon's sharply hit, bad-hop grounder in the Pirates' eighth, he was unable to make a play on Virdon. Virdon was credited with a hit in one of the key plays of the Pirates' five-run inning that overcame a 7-4 New York lead.

Mickey Mantle. His ninth-inning single scored Bobby Richardson, cutting Pittsburgh's lead to 9-8.

Gil McDougald. He scored New York's tying run (9-9) in the ninth on a play in which Berra grounded out to first baseman Rocky Nelson.

Hal Smith. Having replaced Smoky Burgess as the Pirates' catcher in the top of the eighth, he hit a three-run homer in the bottom of the eighth off Jim Coates to give Pittsburgh a 9-7 lead.

Ralph Terry. Yankees' pitcher off whom Mazeroski connected, making the Pittsburgh second baseman the only man in history to end a Series with a homer.
