Every year on Oct. 13, scores of Pittsburgh Pirates fans gather at the Forbes Field outfield wall to commemorate the anniversary of Game 7 of the 1960 World Series. They listen to the radio broadcast of the legendary game, which ended with Bill Mazeroski's walk-off homer and saw the Pirates defeat the New York Yankees to clinch their first title in more than three decades.
In 2025, that celebration hits differently.
This year marked the 65th anniversary of the game and the 40th anniversary of the gathering, which says a lot about the Pirates fanbase.
