life: Jackie Robinson, Mickey Mantle, Willie Mays… Take a trip back to the 40s, 50s, 60s, and even 70s with us as we go through some of our very best baseball photographs. Pictured: University of Pittsburgh students cheer wildly from atop the Cathedral of Learning as they look down on Forbes Field, where the Pittsburgh Pirates are playing the Yankees in the 7th game of a Series that would enter baseball lore when Bill Mazeroski smacked a 9th-inning, game-winning home run. It was Pittsburgh’s first championship in 35 years. (George Silk—Time & Life Pictures/Getty Images)

Four-year-old Paige Bennethum really, really didn’t want her daddy to go to Iraq. So much that when Army Reservist Staff Sgt. Brett Bennethum lined up in formation at his deployment this July, she couldn’t let go. No one had the heart to pull her away. Everyone should stop reblogging hipster photos and reblog this, it won’t ruin your ‘type’ of blog.
