Lost World Series classic found in Bing Crosby's wine cellar

It is regarded as one of the greatest baseball games ever played, but one that was lost to history.

The decider of the 1960 World Series between the Pittsburgh Pirates and the New York Yankees ended with Bill Mazeroski's electrifying home run which won the game 10-9 and clinched the series for the Pirates.

It was believed that a grainy 40-second clip was all that survived of the match as television networks erased the tape, as was routine up until the 1970s.
