You are correct.....Yogi Berra was playing LF in the 7th WS game in 1960.
Yogi faults relief pitcher Jim Coates for failing to cover 1st base in a crucial
play in the 8th inning which would have stopped the Pirates 5-run rally (which
put them ahead with a score of 9 - 7).
The Yankees came back to tie it up with a 2-run HR by Yogi in the 9th.
Then in the bottom of the 9th Mazeroski came to bat.......and that is where
my memory fades (or I have a severe "mental block").
This Yogi story was personally told to me by Clete Boyer, who was the Yankees
3rd baseman in 1960
