Could you imagine how high up the list Maz's homer would be if he was a Yankee beating the Pirates, or any other team, with a ninth inning, 7th game World Series homer? The fact that this homer beat the Yankees is another reason why it is downplayed. Anti-Yankee feats by small market teams do not get the notoriety that they should get. I realize Carter's homer was impressive, too. But it was the 6th game and if they didn't win that one, they had another day.

This homerun may not be the ultimate moment in baseball history, but it sure is as dramatic, no it's more dramatic, than Thomson's homer. It won the World Series, not just the pennant and this homer beat the mighty Yankees.

And, yes, Maz IS a great guy, too, which should enhance the feat.
