Long thought to be destroyed, a complete film of Game 7 of the 1960 World Series was found in Bing Crosby's wine cellar. The film was in perfect condition thanks to the cool and dry conditions of the cellar.
Crosby was part owner of the Pittsburgh Pirates from 1946 until his death in 1977.
Robert Bader, the vice president of Bing Crosby Entertainment, was searching through old tapes and reels of Crosby's TV specials when he stumbled upon a canister labled "1960 World Series."
The game has been converted to DVD and MLB Network will show the game this winter. Bob Costas will interview players from that historic game.
It's funny, even though I wasn't born in 1960, every time I see Bill Mazeroski's game winning homer for the Bucs over the Yankees I wish that the Yanks had won the game.
Mickey Mantle called it the most painful loss of his career.
I'm looking forward to seeing the game this winter, in perfect color, instead of the grainy clips we've seen on highlights. And I'm sure I'll be wishing the Yankees won the game.
Weird World Series in 1960. The three Yankees wins were all blowouts. The four Pirates wins were all close ones.
Well, I guess I spoiled the ending for you if you didn't know who won the World Series in 1960.
