Walk-off king Mazeroski, Pirates legend, dies at 89

Bill Mazeroski, a Hall of Fame second baseman celebrated for delivering the first World Series-ending walk-off homer in Game 7, has died at 89. A durable defensive standout known as a ‘defensive wizard,’ he spent his entire 17-year career with the Pirates, earned 10 All-Star selections and a record 1,706 double plays, and his iconic 1960 walk-off homer at Forbes Field clinched Pittsburgh’s title over the Yankees; he later coached and had his No. 9 retired by the Pirates in 1987, with a 2010 statue commemorating the moment.

"Giants' Bailey delivers walk-off homer to secure victory against Rangers"

Rookie catcher Patrick Bailey hits a walk-off homer in the 10th inning, giving the San Francisco Giants a 3-2 win over the Texas Rangers and preventing a sweep. The win ends a four-game losing streak for the Giants and comes after an excruciating decision by manager Gabe Kapler to pull pitcher Logan Webb, who had pitched 8 2/3 shutout innings. Bailey's homer provides a reprieve for the struggling Giants and makes him and Blake Sabol the first set of rookie catchers to hit walk-off homers for the same team in the same season.
