RIP, Maz


 

He was all glove, no hit, and finally got into the Hall, anyway. But he did hit the seventh game, bottom of the ninth home run in the 1960 Series that made Mantle weep in front of this locker.

Mazeroski said that saving 1,000 runs with your glove was just as good as knocking in 1,000 runs at the plate. He may have had something there.

Though, being a Yankees fan, I think it would be great if you could do both. But that's probably asking too much.
