It is the only Game 7 game - winning home run in World Series history . After Forbes Field was demolished, the section of the left - field wall where the home run left the park was moved to the Pirates' new home of Three Rivers Stadium, and still later was moved to their current home, PNC Park . A line of bricks marks that section of the wall, next to a preserved wall section, and a plaque indicating the spot where Mazeroski's homer left the park is embedded in the current sidewalk . </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1964 </Td> <Td> Game 3, October 10 </Td> <Td> Mickey Mantle, N.Y.

The homer arguably changed the way televised sports are covered; because camera operators missed a cue from the producer, the camera lingered on Fisk trying to "wave his home run fair ." This image of Fisk proved so dramatic that "reaction shots" became standard fare in sports broadcasting . </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1988 </Td> <Td> Game 1, October 15 </Td> <Td> Kirk Gibson, Los Angeles </Td> <Td> Dodger Stadium </Td> <Td> Dennis Eckersley, Oakland </Td> <Td> 3--4, 9th 2 out 1 on </Td> <Td> 5--4 </Td> <Td> 1--0 LA </Td> <Td> The injured and hobbling Gibson, later named the NL MVP, makes his only Series appearance with a pinch - hit, two - run, two - out shot for the underdog Dodgers, marking the first game winning Series homer by a team that trailed at the time . Oakland's José Canseco had provided all his team's scoring with a second - inning grand slam . Jack Buck, who called the game for CBS Radio, exclaimed "I don't believe what I just saw!" as Gibson circled the bases . </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1988 </Td> <Td> Game 3, October 18 </Td> <Td> Mark McGwire, Oakland </Td> <Td> Oakland--Alameda County Coliseum </Td> <Td> Jay Howell, Los Angeles </Td> <Td> 1--1, 9th 1 out 0 on </Td> <Td> 2--1 </Td> <Td> 2--1 LA </Td> <Td> McGwire's home run with one out gives Oakland its only win in the Series .

In addition, Puckett falls a double short of hitting for the cycle, getting two singles, a triple, and the homer . </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> Game 6, October 23 </Td> <Td> Joe Carter, Toronto </Td> <Td> SkyDome </Td> <Td> Mitch Williams, Philadelphia </Td> <Td> 5--6, 9th 1 out 2 on </Td> <Td> 8--6 </Td> <Td> 4--2 TOR </Td> <Td> Carter hit a three - run homer with one out to give Toronto its second consecutive championship . </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1999 </Td> <Td> Game 3, October 26 </Td> <Td> Chad Curtis, N.Y.

It also gave him the nickname of "Mr. November". </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 2003 </Td> <Td> Game 4, October 22 </Td> <Td> Álex González, Florida </Td> <Td> Pro Player Stadium </Td> <Td> Jeff Weaver, N.Y.

Jake Westbrook pitched a scoreless 11th inning to set up David Freese's solo walk - off home run to tie the series and force Game 7, which the Cardinals won . Fox play - by - play commentator Joe Buck echoed his late father Jack's call of Kirby Puckett's home run from the 1991 World Series, saying, "...we will see you tomorrow night!" Puckett's and Freese's home runs occurred under similar circumstances: 1) both happened during Game 6 of the World Series, and 2) both men were the first batter of the final inning . </Td> </Tr> </Table> <Tr> <Th> Year </Th> <Th> Game </Th> <Th> Batter </Th> <Th> Site </Th> <Th> Pitcher </Th> <Th> Situation </Th> <Th> Final score </Th> <Th> Series standing </Th> <Th> Notes </Th> </Tr>
