Sad to hear about the passing of Bill Mazeroski, Hall of Famer and 1960 World Series hero with his walk-off home to win it in Game 7. I got this autograph TTM on his 1960 Topps card when I got several members of the 1960 Pirates autos as well. I saw a video of a group of people that go to the old Forbes Field and listen to the broadcast of Game 7 on the anniversary of the home run. It will take on a bit more significance this October. #pirates #TTM #autograph #billmazeroski #halloffame
I was extremely excited to add Bill Mazeroski’s autographs to my collection. Maz, thank you for your contribution to the game of baseball and the way you treated fans.
It comes from just down the road in Tacoma (Gig Harbor) from Scott Hatteberg! He of course was immortalized by Chris Pratt in the 2011 movie “Moneyball” as an old catcher trying to learn 1st Base. Super happy to get this one back after 1,711 days or over 4.5 years! Super surprised to see it in my mailbox!
Luis Salazar 2/2 in 13 days in 2023. Gotta love getting a two-fee back (even if the autograph isn’t anything to write home about). That Padres color scheme was the best in the late 80’s!
