From a commemorative plaque:
On October 13, 1960, Pirates second baseman William Stanley Mazeroski was the batter in the bottom of the 9th inning of Game 7 of the World Series. The Pittsburgh Pirates were batting the New York Yankess and the series was tied at three games apiece. The score was tied 9-9. There were no outs with no one on base when Mazeroski stepped to the plate. On an 0-1 pitch at 3:36 P.M., Maz hit the only walk-off home run in Game 7 to win a World Series with a blast over the 406-foot Forbes Field outfield wall. This statue captures the moment when Bill Mazeroski rounded second base in celebration of one of the greatest moments in Pittsburgh sports history.
