- Forbes Field, Pittsburgh — no ball was ever hit out over the right-field roof in its 61 seasons.
- The brick left-field wall Mazeroski cleared still stands on the University of Pittsburgh campus.
NBC Radio fed the game to hundreds of affiliates; the surviving television kinescope was not found until 2010.
