Landy happened to be the sole breaker of this record before Bannister outran him.

October 13, 1960, at the World Series. An energetic bunch of students at the University of Pittsburg cheerfully support their team from a dizzying height. The stadium far below the students is the Forbes Field, which the Cathedral of Learning campus looms over. The youths had good cause for celebration, as the Pirates had just taken their initial World Series against the Yankees after 35 years of disappointment. Bill Mazeorski whacked the initial walk-off home run in Game 7 seen in the World Series. This resulted in the Pirates taking a 10-9 victory.
