Background - Pittsburgh Pirates
Pittsburgh was a great place to be a baseball fan at the turn of the 20th century with Honus Wagner. The shortstop was key to the three straight pennants from 1901 to 1903. The first two were just before the World Series, but the third had them playing in the inaugural World Series. Pirates tickets saw the club lose to Boston, but Pittsburgh returned in 1909 to win over the Detroit Tigers.
Honus Wagner had to retire eventually, and Pittsburgh followed with mostly unforgettable seasons from 1925 to 1960. The 1960 season saw Roberto Clemente emerged from the unknown to lead the Pirates to their first World Series in over 50 years. Pirates tickets would not see many great team seasons for the rest of the decade, but they did see Clemente quietly dominated the league, establishing himself as one of the best offensive forces every to play the game.
The Pirates real hey day came in the ‘70s. Pittsburgh won two World Series (1971 and 1979). The first came in time to honor the new stadium, Three Rivers Stadium, with a rare all African-American lineup. Clemente died in a tragic plane crash in 1972, and it took Pittsburgh years to overcome his death. Finally, in 1979, the team that made a great run to start off the decade came back to end it with Pirates tickets to a World Series in 1979.
The next couple of decades followed with talented teams that failed to produce. Jim Leyland tried to take a club with All Star outfielders Bobby Bonilla, Barry Bonds, and Andy Van Slyke in the late ‘80s and early ‘90s. The team sold Pirates tickets based on talent, but eventually the team broke up and Barry Bonds made his way to a historic and controversial career in San Francisco while the Pittsburgh Pirates struggled to reach .500.

2009 Season Preview
|
 The Pittsburgh Pirates struck a small victory by finishing with a record that was not the worst in the league. Still, they finished 67-95 and in last place in the NL Central. The team could not pitch and they could barely hit. They finished last in the league in just about every statistical category. The one thing that came out of the year was a desperate measure that involved signing the first two Indian players. Those two are still going to be stuck in the minors for at least a few years, so the question is what will sell Pirates tickets to PNC Park during the regular season schedule?
The front office got rid of the two best hitters in Jason Bay and Xavier Nady, getting prospects and making Ryan Doumit, Nate McLouth, ad Adam LaRoche the best options in the lineup. The rest of the position players are a huge question mark. The starters so far are Paul Maholm, Zch Duke, Ian Snell, Jeff Karstens, and Tom Gorzelanny. Fans with Pirates tickets will be happy if two or three end up being decent pitchers this season. Matt Capps was a good closer last season and simply hopes that he will get a chance for more than 26 save opportunities.
