DISCOVER THE ARTS Sean Daisher, aka ‘The Rev. Daisher Rocket’, works in his Greensburg studio. ARTS APPRECIATION GROWS GREATER IN GREENSBURG Westmoreland County celebrates established artists, reaches out to next generation BY DAVE MACKALL PIRATES HALL OF FAMER BILL MAZEROSKI, among Westmoreland County’s most famous residents, is its first but not its only ex-major league player to have homered against righthander Ralph Terry and his famed New York Yankees of another era. Maz’s ninth-inning shot off Terry that sailed over the ivy-laden Forbes Field wall put a capper on the Pirates’ improbable 1960 World Series victory and occurred two years before a young kid named Brian McCall slugged one of his two big-league dingers in one game against Terry, a 23-game winner and the World Series MVP in 1962. They made a statue of Maz and placed it outside PNC Park in Pittsburgh. No such luck for McCall, a West Coast native who eventu-ally found his way to Greensburg, which just happens to be his wife’s hometown. The glove used by Brian McCall, when he made history with the White Sox, hangs from a nail in his Greensburg studio. 24 | Discover Westmoreland 2016
