Bill Mazeroski

Born on today's date, Bill Mazeroski.

The 13 year old boy who caught the walk off home run apparently traded the ball back to Mazeroski for two cases of beer.

The drinking age in Pennsylvania in 1960?

Well I guess it was "only beer".

Good thing it wasn't the 1986 Mets.

Who knows what they would have offered the boy.
