50 years ago today the greatest home run ever was hit

October 13, 1960 at 3:36 Bill Mazeroski hit the greatest home run in the history of MLB.....in my opinion.

I got this 16x20 signed a few years ago at a show here in Pittsburgh.

I took my Dad to the signing because he got his picture taken (he's the kid on the right) with Maz and Bob Friend and I paid for my Dad's auto ticket so that he could get his pic signed.

The picture with your dad is priceless. Great bit of history intertwined with family history.

Look at those glasses :lol:

Nice bit of family history and thanks for sharing. And I'm kidding on the glasses I used to have a pair of those. :lol:

It really is priceless, my Dad didn't have much as far as collectibles or anything when he passed away in March, but it's the one thing that I just had to have.

Did any of you guys ever read how Clemente never wore his WS ring from that year?

Yeah, he felt snubbed about the MVP voting that year when he finished 8th, although teammate Dick Groat won.

Your dad is cool on so many levels. I'd love to be in his spot in that photo - glasses and all.
I had a Maz auto, but gave it away as part of a Secret Santa. I need to pick up another one.
