Artifact Spotlight: 1960 World Series

Thanks to a generous donation from Alba and Thomas Tull, Bill Mazeroski’s iconic uniform and bat from Game 7 of the 1960 World Series are part of the permanent collection at the Sports Museum.

Mazeroski’s Pirates uniform and bronzed 35-inch Louisville Slugger bat are on display, along with other artifacts from Game 7, including the Forbes Field pitching rubber from which Yankees pitcher Ralph Terry served up the homer to Maz.

Artifact Spotlight: Willie Stargell Home Jersey, 1982

Few players spend their entire career in one city and are as beloved as Willie “Pops” Stargell. His affinity for Pittsburgh began with his prodigious power hitting, which even spacious Forbes Field could not contain. He matured with Roberto Clemente’s tutelage and his ability to lead the team became as important as his offensive output on the field. Stargell wore this jersey during the last year of his career, which he finished with 475 home runs and 1,540 runs batted in – both all-time Pirates records.

Celebrate the athletes and sports fans in your life.
