Historic Buried Baseball Treasure Unearthed
If you’re reading this there’s a good chance you already know that the 1960 World Series ended abruptly with one of the two most dramatic home runs in baseball history (Bobby Thomson’s 1951 N.L. Pennant-winning “Shot Heard `Round the World” being the other). Thought to be lost–or nonexistent in the first place–a kinescope of the historic and deciding seventh game was discovered several months ago in the basement of one of the Pittsburgh Pirates’ former owners, the late entertainer Bing Crosby, by the Crosby family’s archivist, Robert Bader. Unlike another historic recent discovery, Don Larsen’s perfect pitching performance in game 5 of the ’56 Series, the complete “Mazeroski game” was found in its entirety. The family made the kinescope available to MLB, and it is now, in the 50th anniversary year of the 1960 Series, available on DVD.The long-available highlight film (included as an extra) naturally fell short in capturing the excitement and drama of this epic Game 7 clash between the underdog Pirates and the overpowering Yankees, who were arguably at the peak of their long and storied dynasty. In fact, the Bombers outscored the Pirates 55-27 in the Series, and Game 7 was a high scoring back-and-forth battle royal that alternately seemed hopeless for both teams at various points, something which has become overshadowed by Mazeroski’s home run. The formidable outfield arms of Roberto Clemente and Roger Maris figured prominently in this game, as did the baserunning agility of Mickey Mantle, Casey Stengel’s predilection for changing pitchers, and a less than perfectly manicured Forbes infield, which famously victimized Yankees shortstop Tony Kubek.It’s all here in this momentous 2-DVD package, as well as several extras, including interviews with Pirates Vern Law, Bill Mazeroski and Hal Smith (who in the 8th inning hit what might have been the game winning home run, had it not been for a Yankees rally in the top of the 9th), and Yankees Yogi Berra, Ralph Terry and Bobby Richardson (the WS MVP, and the only player to win that honor playing for the loser). Included as well are newsreels and highlights of the Pirates’ 1960 season, a campaign that was punctuated with multiple comebacks emblematic of their World Series performance of that year.The quality of the kinescope itself is typical of the era–decent, but not exactly the HD level we’ve become used to in this day and age. But for any baseball fan, the historical value alone makes this set a must-have.

The Holy Grail of Baseball
When you ask sportcasters about the most iconic, the most spectacular plays in baseball, at least two if not three innings of this game are mentioned on the list. Much more than the ninth inning homer by Mazeroski that wins the game (the iconic baseball win in so many movies — the final inning home run). That home run traveled 410 feet. This is not the only iconic moment. Don’t evet think that hte Yankees put on a bad show. Here are brilliant plays by the Yankees (at that time kings of all sports dynasties. Most people thought them unstoppable and incapable of losing) and the Pirates in the innings leading up to the ninth.This series had SEVEN baseball Most Valuable Players — Dick Groat, Roberto Clemente, Yoggi Berra, Mickey Mantle, Roger Maris, Elston Howard and Bobby Shantz. Casey Stengel managed his last World Series at 70 y/o.This was one of those sports moments in sports — a winning home run in the last inning of the last game – one pitch for all the marbles, one hit for the title. This game should have been saved and today would be recorded routinely but back then, it was thought lost.I’m old (not really that old) but old enough to remember the day and there was no televised game. It was radio or nothing. no home team ever had TV of the game. I remember that evening going to the home of Elroy Face and congratulating him and my Mother getting his autograph. This is baseball the way it should be played.

Topps in Every Way
It was lost to the world until the kinescope of the complete game 7 of the greatest MLB upset in world series history was discovered in the wine cellar of Bing Crosby’s home. Now here it is. The tension, the lead changes, the Bill Virdon double play grounder that hit Tony Kubek in the adam’s apple, erasing a 7-5 Yankee lead, putting the Pirates up 9-7. Then pitcher Jim Coates unable to cover first and leading to the Yankees tying the score at 9-9 setting up Bill Mazeroski’s dramatic home run in the Pirate’s home 9th to win the World Series for the Pittsburgh Pirates for 1960. I was surprised at how well preserved this complete game 7 was, and contained both the television and radio coverage of this classic game. If you’re a baseball fan, and particularly if you’re a Pittsburgh Pirates fan, this game is a must. There is a bonus disc with highlights of the Pittsburgh Pirates 1960 season, a 1960 World Series newsreel and player interviews. If only Bing Crosby had been in charge of the saving and/or restoration of MLB classic games, we’d be seeing more great games like this one.Buy it!

the ultimate sports video miracle
It’s a game where a team prevails after surrendering 4-0 and 9-7 leads. A game where a shortstop literally has the wind knocked out of him by a routine ground ball. A game where the ‘defensive catcher’ hits a three-run lead-changing home run. A game whose unmatched vicissitudes drove the most famous manager in baseball history into retirement. A game whose outcome produced the greatest public celebration in the history of a city founded before the American Revolution. And of course it is a game with the “walk-off” home run to end all walk-off home runs, the home run that not only ended a game but ENDED AN ERA. Ladies and gentlemen, Major League Baseball Productions proudly presents THE GREATEST BASEBALL GAME EVER PLAYED.I am not going to rehash the newly coined Legend of Bing Crosby’s Wine Cellar since that has (justifiably) been told in many places already, but I will conclude by saying that the astounding appearance of this nearly fifty years to the day proves once and for all that not only is God not a Yankees fan, HE IS NOT A RED SOX FAN EITHER(Hey ESPN, before you make Peter Gammons interview Carlton Fisk for the 500th time this year, let me remind you that the Red Sox LOST the 1975 Series).

Even though I am a Yankee fan and was broken heaarted at the time, I was fanatically searching for this game for a long time. I was not disappointed. The quality is great considering the age. The only thing missing was the national anthem and the original commercials. The second disc has some great colored video of the entire World Series. I recommend this to any Baseball fan.

Game Seven of the 1960 World Series–thought to be lost forever–is now preserved forever on a DVD. It’s is still a compelling game half a century later. Numerous twists and turns and the dramatic finale make it a baseball classic.
