What was the most extreme aggregate run differential in a World Series?  What was special about that series?

My first thought is the 1960 World Series in which the Yankees crushed the Pirates multiple times but lost the Series on Mazeroski’s Game 7 HR in the bottom of the ninth.  I believe it was the first Game 7 walk-off HR in WS history.  And yes, Tony Kubek still has a sore throat. :)

One other note - while it could be an apocryphal tale, years ago, I read an article about the HR in which it was stated that the part of the Forbes Field left field brick wall over which Maz’s HR flew is behind a bar somewhere in Pittsburgh.
