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?

Well I don't know but it sure wasn't 13.

Well, I guess it was "only beer".

Good thing it wasn't the 1986 Mets.

Who knows what they would have offered the boy.
