@Elandra77 The Mazeroski homer was in 1960....the Yankees beat the Reds in the World Series in1961.
@DragonFruit It was STILL the 1960's and that was the question. Any other faults of 59 or 58 years ago you wish to point out? I am sure Google can assist you with that. I hated the Yankees then and I hate them now and it was nice to see them lose as they did.

@Elandra77 I wasn’t disagreeing with you about it being in the ‘60s (I’m well aware of the fact that 1960 is part of the ‘60s), I was just clarifying that his homer was in 1960 and that nobody beat the Yankees in 1961 (I’m just a long time Yankees fan....and I loved seeing them win it all in ’61).
