1964 Topps #570 Bill Mazeroski
About Bill Mazeroski
Card #570 is Mazeroski's only card in the 1964 set and a seventh-series high number. It covers a 1963 season in which his bat went quiet, .245 with 8 home runs and 52 RBI, while the glove held firm through 131 double plays and a fourth Gold Glove, and he still made the All-Star team. With Dick Groat traded to St. Louis, Mazeroski took over as Pittsburgh's team captain that year, steadying a club that slid to eighth at 74-88.
William Stanley Mazeroski spent his entire 17-year career (1956-1972) at second base for the Pittsburgh Pirates, who signed him in 1954 out of high school in Tiltonsville, Ohio. Broadcaster Bob Prince took to calling him simply "The Glove," and the name fit: a ten-time All-Star and eight-time Gold Glove winner, he turned 1,706 double plays, still the major league career record for a second baseman. He is remembered above all for one swing. Leading off the bottom of the ninth of Game 7 of the 1960 World Series with the score tied 9-9, he drove a Ralph Terry pitch over the left-field wall at Forbes Field to beat the New York Yankees, the only walk-off home run ever to end a World Series in Game 7. He hit .320 in that Series and won the Babe Ruth Award for it. Eleven years later he and Roberto Clemente, the last two men left from the 1960 club, took a second title from Baltimore. Mazeroski coached for the Pirates and the Seattle Mariners, saw his number 9 retired in 1987, and was elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame by the Veterans Committee in 2001, chosen for his glove more than his bat. He died February 20, 2026, in Lansdale, Pennsylvania, at 89.
