Pirates Fans Relive 66-Years-Old World Series Glory With an Annual Radio Tradition

Every October 13, hundreds of Pirates fans gather at the crumbling brick wall of Forbes Field to listen to a 66-year-old radio broadcast. Their fans gather annually to celebrate the 1960 Game 7 walk-off home run by Bill Mazeroski. The “Game 7 Gang” kept that tradition alive again this year. They gathered at the remaining outfield brick wall of Forbes Field to listen to the radio commentary and relive Mazeroski’s legendary blast. But beneath the nostalgia lies a question of when Pittsburgh will have another October moment worth celebrating. The Pirates have had little to cheer about in recent years.
