Game 7 of the 1960 World Series

Where were you that day -- when Maz humiliated the New York Yankees?
There is a baseball service called "Retrosheet." It is located at

www.retrosheet.org

At this web site are the play by play records of many ball games. This is one of them.

I was at work, an IBM rep visiting a client, B. F. Goodrich, when this game was played. We heard a lot of it on the radio that day. Carol, at home moving furniture with a friend, dropped a sofa on her to go to the phone and call me when Maz hit the winning blow in the 9th.


Here is the retrosheet on that game.
