Bill Mazeroski Pittsburgh Pirates Autographed Baseball
Unassuming and quiet, Bill Mazeroski was a seven-time all-star who compiled 2,016 hits in his 17-year career with the Pirates. A lifetime .260 batter, he reached double digits in homers six times and, playing in the expanses of Forbes Field, collected more * than 20 doubles nine times. But defense was the name of the game for Maz, winner of eight Gold Gloves. Almost three decades after he retired, he still holds major league records for second basemen for most double plays in a season (161), most double plays * in a career (1,706), most years leading a league in DPs (eight) and most seasons leading in assists (nine). * Reduced to a utility role in his last two years, Mazeroski retired after the 1972 season with 853 RBI in 2,163 games. He coached for the Pirates in 1973 and with Seattle in 1979 and 1980. And though he's retired, he still helps out at the * Pirates spring training camp. The ball is in excellent condition and Bill signed the it in blue pen. * * *
