It wasn’t enough for the Chicago Cubs to win a World Series for the first time in 108 years.

At least one prominent but overexcited journalist decided their 8-7 victory over the Cleveland Indians in 10 innings tonight also constituted the greatest World Series Game 7 ever played.

It was an interesting game, no question. But greatest?

Nope. At best, Cubs-Indians 2016 is second.

Even the semi-serious baseball fan already knows which Game 7 to which I am referring.

It featured historically great players doing what great players do; a decisive collision of baseball dynasts from the big city versus the championship-starved team from blue-collar America; managers Casey Stengel and Danny Murtaugh directing a second-guesser’s fantasia; a freak bounce that incapacitated a key player and sparked a crucial rally …

And (this is key) a game that saw Team A leading 4-0 after four innings, Team B leading 7-4 in the middle of the eighth; Team A leading 9-7 going into the top of the ninth and Team B forging a tie at 9-9 before the bottom of the ninth.

OK, let’s open the envelope.

Talking about Game 7 of the 1960 World Series, which ended 10-9 in favor of the Pittsburgh Pirates over the New York Yankees thanks to Bill Mazeroski’s home run in the bottom of the ninth — still the only walk-off Game 7 home run.

It was the culmination of a deeply interesting series, one that saw the Yankees, winners of eight of the previous 12 World Series, outscore the Pirates, winners of nothing since 1925, 55-27 over the seven games.

The Yankees destroyed the Pirates 16-3 in Game 2, 10-0 in Game 3 and 12-0 in Game 6.

The Pirates survived by winning the close ones — 6-4 in the opener, 3-2 in Game 4 and 5-2 in Game 5.

In Game 7, played at Forbes Field, the Pirates oddly shaped home field, the Pirates carried a 4-0 lead and had a 91 percent chance of winning, after four innings.

But the Yankees got one in the fifth and four in the sixth, with a three-run home run by Yogi Berra the big hit, to take a 5-4 lead. They got two more in the eighth to go up 7-4, and their chances of winning the game were calculated at 94 percent. Some turnaround, eh?

Just getting warmed up.

The Pirates responded in the bottom of the eighth, opening the inning with two singles — the latter by Bill Virdon, which looked like a doubleplay ball until it took a weird hop and hit Yankees shortstop Tony Kubek in the throat, driving him from the game with a potentially life-threatening injury.

Dick Groat singled home a run, Roberto Clemente drove in another and Hal Smith slammed a three-run home run to make it 9-7.

Over? Nope.

The Pirates were three outs from a championship and had a 93 percent chance of winning, but the Yankees were not done. Mickey Mantle singled home a run, and on the next play miraculously retreated to first base — even though the first baseman, holding the ball, was between Mantle and the bag — as a run scored and the game was tied.

Fans must have been reeling by this point. Eighteen runs, four multi-run leads overcome, both sides burning through their best pitchers.

What would happen next?

One of the most dramatic moments in baseball history.

Mazeroski, the No. 8 hitter in the Pittsburgh lineup, a man sometimes considered the best fielding second baseman to play the game but generally a subpar hitter, crushed a ball to left field, a homer estimated at 406 feet.

Pirates win!

And all that action was packed into 2 hours and 36 minutes. No, really. A few ticks over 2.5 hours.

The Cubs and Indians needed 4:28 to finish, and that doesn’t include a 17-minute rain delay.

If you would like a far, far more detailed look at 1960’s Game 7, have a look at this 2010 ESPN piece in which the author doesn’t stop with “greatest Game 7” but goes right on to “greatest game”. Period.

Cubs 8, Indians 7, a good game. Made more memorable by the fact that both teams had not won a championship in a very long time.

But when it comes to the most see-saw, star-laden Game 7 … the Pirates and Yankees still sit in the No. 1 position.
