Baseball fans, the ones who actually watch old games on the classic sports networks, will salivate over this rare recording of the seventh game of the 1960 World Series between the Pirates and the Yankees. The series winning home run by Bill Mazeroski – the first walk off home run to ever win a World Series – is the stuff of legend and thought to be lost to all time until a rare print of the game was found in Bing Crosby’s wine cellar (the crooner was a one of the Pirate’s owners). But the good news is that non-baseball fan will enjoy watching this footage, too, particularly for a nostalgic look at how television was made a half century ago.
