1966 Topps #210 Bill Mazeroski
About Bill Mazeroski
Third-series card #210 is Mazeroski's lone 1966 entry, covering a 1965 line of .271, 6 home runs and 54 RBI with a sixth Gold Glove and a .988 fielding mark. It was his first season paired with shortstop Gene Alley, and the two turned 113 double plays, the sixth time Mazeroski had led the National League in them; under new manager Harry Walker the Pirates climbed to third at 90-72. Card #210 is a regular-series number.
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.
