Forbes Autumn Classic by Bill Purdom
It's October 13, 1960, at long-gone Forbes Field in Pittsburgh, and that's Bill Mazeroski rounding first after rocking pitcher Ralph Terry and the Yankees with a tie-breaking, ninth-inning homer in Game 7 of the World Series. Maz is The Man, and the Pirates are the World Champions. Also visible from your lofty perch on the roof behind home plate are catcher Johnny Blanchard, first baseman Moose Skowron, second baseman Bobby Richardson, shortstop Clete Boyer, third baseman Gil McDougald, left fielder Yogi Berra, center fielder Mickey Mantle and right fielder Roger Maris. Trees, showing signs of fall, dot the rolling hills beyond the outfield fence, and buildings from the University of Pittsburgh are visible to the left.

Buc Starts Here by Bill Purdom
It’s October 5, 1960, Game 1 of the Yankees-Pirates World Series at venerable Forbes Field in Pittsburgh. And 26-year-old Pirate slugger Roberto Clemente, in his first World Series at-bat, is about to rip a 1st-inning pitch from Yankee righty Art Ditmar for an RBI single to center. (Yogi Berra is the Yankee catcher.) Clemente will go on to play in 13 more World Series games (including seven in 1971), hitting safely in each. He’ll finish with 21 hits in 58 at-bats for a .362 average. The Game 1 hit in 1960 scored Bob Skinner from second base, gave the Pirates a 3-1 lead and drove Ditmar from the game. The Pirates maintained a lead the rest of the way and won the game, 6-4. Clemente had another key hit in the decisive seventh game at Forbes. With two outs in the 8th inning and the Pirates trailing 7-5, Clemente legged out a slow chopper to first, driving in Dick Groat and setting up Hal Smith’s clutch 3-run homer. That blast paved the way for Bill Mazeroski’s legendary game- and Series-winning home run in the ninth.
