2163 games, 138 home runs, .260 batting average
Mazeroski will forever be remembered for slamming the walk-off World Series winning shot against the Yankees in game 7 of the 1960 World Series, but he had a distinguished 17-year Hall of Fame career. Primarily regarded as one of the slickest fielding second basemen in history, Maz won 8 Gold Glove awards and holds fielding records for the most seasons leading league in assists (nine), most seasons leading league in double plays (eight), most double plays in a single season (161 in 1966) and most career double plays (1,706). The seven time All Star's number 9 was retired in 1987. |
