I don't know why the broadcast was unique, but it was the only World
Series that featured a walkoff home run in game 7 of the series. There
was a walkoff home run that ended the 1993 World Series, but it was only
game 6 that time.
The Pirates had a 9-7 lead with the Yankees batting in the top of the
9th inning. The Yankees pushed across 2 runs to tie the game at 9-9. The Pirates came up in the bottom of the 9th and Bill Mazeroski led off with
a game and series winning home run off of Ralph Terry as the Pirates won
the series despite being outscored 55-27 across the 7 games. The Yankees
3 wins were by scores of 10-0, 12-0, and 16-3, but the Pirates 4 wins
were by scores of 6-4, 3-2, 5-2 and 10-9.
