Bill Mazeroski, the Hall of Fame second baseman known for his historic walk-off home run in Game 7 of the 1960 World Series, passed away at 89. Praised for his defensive skills and humble demeanor, he won eight Gold Gloves and was a 10-time All-Star, despite modest offensive stats. Mazeroski’s iconic moment came when he hit the first-ever World Series-ending homer, securing the championship for the Pittsburgh Pirates against the New York Yankees. A lifelong Pirate, he remained a beloved figure in baseball history.
