9. Bill Mazeroski ends the 1960 World Series (take THAT, Yankees). Only one of two home runs to end a World Series.

Apologies to: Arky Vaughan, Roberto Clemente, Doc Ellis, Willie Stargell, Johnny Ray, Jeff King, Hamlet's Danish pirates, all manner of guys with a name of (color)beard, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers and radio stations at sea. Maybe next time....
