"Art Ditmar throws ... There's a swing and a high fly ball going deep to left, this may do it! ... Back to the wall goes Berra, it is ... over the fence, home run, the Pirates win! ... (long pause for crowd noise) ... Ladies and gentleman, Bill Mazeroski has just hit a one-nothing pitch over the left field wall to win the 1960 World Series for the Pittsburgh Pirates by a score of ten to nothing!" Announcer Chuck Thompson blew the call, erring on the pitcher and the final score but no one really cared. Official National League (Giles) ball was used in one of the games at Forbes Field, possibly historic game 7, but we are uncertain of the exact game. Signed by all the umpires including Nestor Chylak Jr. on a side panel that could be displayed as a single. Signatures are 8/10 ink pen. Ball shows moderate use.
