1971 Topps #110 Bill Mazeroski
About Bill Mazeroski
Mazeroski hit .229 with 7 home runs and 39 RBI in 112 games in 1970, and the glove supplied the milestones. On June 28 he stepped on second for the final out ever recorded at Forbes Field, and on July 16 he fielded the first batted ball at Three Rivers Stadium. He also passed Nellie Fox's major league record of 1,619 double plays. Card #110, from the first series, carries his Pirates portrait. His 2,000th hit, a double in a loss to Houston, came on August 17, 1971.
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: an All-Star in seven seasons and an 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. It remains the only walk-off home run to end a World Series in Game 7. He hit .320 in that Series and won the Babe Ruth Award for it. In 1971 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.
