The Pittsburgh Pirates boast one of the most exciting and best teams in National League history. Numerous Hall of Fame players have passed through the Pirates’ lineup, including Honus Wagner, Fred Clarke, Tommy Leach, and Vic Willis. The Pittsburgh Pirates brought home their first of five World Series titles in 1909, defeating legendary player Ty Cobb and the Detroit Tigers. 1925 brought the team their second Series win, beating out the Washington Senators.

From the mid-1920s to 1960, the Pirates faded into Major League Baseball background, with no pennant or World Series wins. But, that made no difference to fans, who kept turning up with their Pittsburgh Pirates tickets in order to cheer on their favorite team. In 1960, fans’ patience was rewarded when the Pirates, thanks to a dramatic home run by Bill Mazersoki, beat the famed New York Yankees for the World Series championship. In the 1960s, the Pirates led MLB, thanks in large part to the outstanding batting and outfielding skills of Roberto Clemente. In 1966, Clemente was voted National League Most Valuable Player after hitting 29 home runs and batting in 119 more. Tragically, the baseball legend’s career ended prematurely after he was killed in a plane crash in 1972.

The 1970s became the most successful decades in Pittsburgh Pirates’ history, with the team finishing first in the league six times, with two more seasons in second place, and once in third. The Pittsburgh Pirates faced off against their leading rivals, the Cincinnati Reds, for the league pennant three times in the 1970s, although they ultimately lost each title.

The 1980s were a decade of change for the Pirates as they were unable to repeat their stunning 1970s performance. The team slowly began to change over their line up, replacing old favorites with new, younger players, including Barry Bonds, who went on to become one of the greatest baseball players in the last half of the twentieth century. And, thanks in large part to Bonds’ talent, the Pirates went on to lead three more National League titles in the early 1990s, sealing their fate as one of the League’s greatest teams.
