Mazeroski bat, uniform donated to museum
PITTSBURGH — Bill Mazeroski’s Pittsburgh Pirates uniform and bat from Game 7 of the 1960 World Series have been donated to the Western Pennsylvania Sports Museum at the Heinz History Center.
Thomas Tull, who heads his self-named investment group and is a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers ownership group, along with his wife, Alba, donated the items Wednesday.
Tull paid nearly $1 million in 2013 for the game-worn uniform and bat that Mazeroski used to hit the series-winning home run against the New York Yankees.
It remains the only Game 7 walk-off home run in World Series history, winning the game 10-9.
The Tulls said they felt the time was right to donate the items given the “excitement surrounding Pirates baseball in recent years.”
