We snuck transistor radios into Middle School to listen to the games played during the week. The entire school erupted when Mazeroski hit the famous, Series-clinching walk-off home run.

1 hour ago1 hr No. To many years ago I took a 14 day vacation with a company that did MLB tours. We saw 13 games in 14 different cities and the day off was spent at the HOF in Cooperstown. We would usually get to the cities early enough to do a little touring around the city. In Pittsburgh my brother and I found where the old stadium use to be. It was mostly a park but some of the original wall still stood and some were remembered in the sidewalk. They showed the exact spot where Mazeroski's HR went over the fence.
