Today is the 49th anniversary of what is arguably the most dramtic home run, if not moment, in World Series history. The Pirate's come from behind victory over the New York Yankees when, future Hall of Famer, Bill Mazeroski (with a lifetime 260. batting average) wins the game in the bottom of the ninth with a walk off home run off of Ralph Terry. We should all observe a moment of silence at 3:35 this afternoon.
For you soccer fans out there a walk off home run is one that wins the game and the batter walks off after rounding the bases.
Video is at the link but you have to provide your own sound effects.

Missed you at the wall today Jim. Elroy Face and Bob Friend were there. I guess maybe 150-200 of us heard the 1-0 pitch in the ninth
See you this weekend
David
