Box Score of the Week (Final one of 2019)

Pittsburgh Pirates second baseman Bill Mazeroski ended the 1960 World Series with a homer in the bottom of the ninth inning against the New York Yankees.

---------------------------------------

Last Saturday the Yankees were knocked out of the American League Championship Series when Houston's Jose Altuve hit a walk off two-run homer in the bottom of the 9th inning. The only other postseason the Yanks were "walked off?" That would be 1960, culminated by the Pirates' Bill Mazeroski hitting a game-winning home run in Game 7 of the World Series.
