The Pirates won their first World Series in 1909 and since then have gone on to win four more World Series titles. Recently, the Pirates have consistently made the playoffs in the 2013, 2014 and 2015 MLB seasons.

Unforgettable Moments from the Pirates’ History –

Being one of the oldest teams in the league, the Bucs have been part of some of the most historic moments in professional baseball history.

The Strange World Series – The 1960 World Series was played from October 5 to 13, 1960, between the Bucs and the New York Yankees. The last game of the series is still talked about to this day. Game 7, which was played on Forbes Field, became famous for Bill Mazeroski’s game-winning walk-off home run. The only time Game 7 of the World Series ended with a home run.

While Mazeroski’s homer was historical, the World Series was strange in two other aspects – Yankees, the losing team, scored more than twice as many runs as the Bucs. And Bobby Richardson, a Yankee, was named the series MVP, the only time in history that that award went to a member of the losing team.

We Are Family – The 1979 World Series was played between the Pirates and the Baltimore Orioles. The Pirates won the Series 4-3 and became only the 4th team in World Series history to come back from three games to one deficit to win the Series in seven games. Led by Pops Willie Stargell, the Bucs played under Sister Sledge’s anthem, We Are Family. To see the historical team with your own eyes purchase your Pittsburgh Pirates tickets today!
