Raise It! š“āā ļø Game 4, 1960 World Series
Donny, is this too soon? š @CashLumber
October 9, 1960 was pivotal Game 4 of the 1960 World Series because it completely shifted the momentum of the series. The Pittsburgh Pirates, who had been badly outscored in their earlier losses, eked out a 3ā2 win over the New York Yankees at Yankee Stadium.
Key points:
Vern Law and Roy Face combined to hold down the Yankeesā powerful lineup, proving the Pirates could win in New York.
The victory gave Pittsburgh a 2ā2 series tie, erasing the Yankeesā apparent dominance from their lopsided wins.
Without that Game 4 win, the Pirates likely would have fallen behind 3ā1 in the Series, a deficit that would have been nearly impossible to overcome against the mighty Yankees.
It was a turning point that kept Pittsburgh aliveāsetting the stage for Bill Mazeroskiās legendary Game 7 home run.
Happy Thursday friends and card folk!š
Have a great day. š¤
