Four of Mazeroski's 1960 Pirates teammates tugged away a protective cover Sunday to unveil a 14-foot, 2,000-pound statue depicting the second baseman, the only player to end a World Series Game 7 with a home run.

Mazeroski is portrayed during his jubilant dash around the bases after his homer off Ralph Terry decided Pittsburgh's upset of the New York Yankees that season.

Mazeroski is the fourth Pirates player honored with a statue, joining Honus Wagner, Roberto Clemente and Willie Stargell. Mazeroski's likeness is located near the PNC Park's right field grandstands along a street known as Mazeroski Way.
