Bill Mazeroski's 1960 World Series home run

In Game 7 of the 1960 World Series at Forbes Field in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on October 13, 1960, the Pittsburgh Pirates' Bill Mazeroski hit a solo walk-off home run in the bottom of the ninth inning against New York Yankees pitcher Ralph Terry to give the Pirates a 10–9 win and their first championship since 1925. With the count one ball and zero strikes, Mazeroski's line drive toward deep left field cleared the wall, becoming the first of two times the World Series has ended on a walk-off home run, and the only time it has happened in Game 7. The second and most recent World Series-winning walk-off homer was hit by Joe Carter for the Toronto Blue Jays in 1993, although it occurred in Game 6.
