Summary
Details

Each year, fans gather at the remains of Forbes Field in Pittsburgh to celebrate Bill Mazeroski's iconic walk-off home run that won the 1960 World Series for the Pittsburgh Pirates. This tradition, known as the 'Game 7 Gang, ' commemorates the anniversary of the game, which took place on October 13, 1960, and has been celebrated since the mid-1980s. This book is a tribute to Forbes Field, the Pittsburgh Pirates, and the City of Pittsburgh.
