Background - Pittsburgh Pirates
The turn of the 20th century found a Pirates club led by shortstop and baseball legend Honus Wagner. He led a team that dominated the National League from 1901 to 1903, when the club won three straight pennants. The 1901 and 1902 pennants were won at a time just before the World Series, but the 1903 pennant pitted them against Boston in the first World Series ever. The Pirates would lose though.
The team would return to the World Series in 1909 and would defeat the Detroit Tigers for their first title. Eventually even Honus Wagner had to age and the Pirates began to flounder. The Pirates would return the World Series before the great teams of the ‘70s, winning in 1925 and 1960.
The 1970s began an era of a team stacked with enough talent to challenge the Big Red machine in Cincinnati. The club featured slugger Willie Stargell, Roberto Clemente, Rennie Stennett, Gene Clines, Manny Sangillen, Dave Cash, Al Oliver, Jackie Hernandez, and Dock Ellis. Clemente, on the best hitters every, died tragically in a plane crash on December 31, 1972. Clemente's .414 batting average in the 1971 World Series was one of the keys to the Pirates victory. The club would go though, and win NL East division titles in 1974, 1975, and 1979 and the World Series in 1979.
The Pirates fell to the bottom of the league in the mid-80s, but found a young trio in the outfield that showed incredible promise. Barry Bonds, Bobby Bonilla, and Andy Van Slyke trolled the outfield and terrorized pitchers at the plate. Doug Drabek and John Smiley held down the rotation as the team flirted with greatness, winning three straight NL East titles. The team never advanced to the World Series though and remains one of the great young teams that never quite made it.

2008 Season Preview
|
 The Pittsburgh Pirates hope this is the year they end of the losing. The club has had 15 consecutive losing seasons. The Pirates return a team with lots of youth and little experience.
Tom Gorzelanny is the ace of the pitching staff. His 14-10 record and 3.88 ERA are by far the best on the team from last season. Ian Snell, Matt Morris, and Maholm will need to pitch surprisingly well to break the losing streak. The offense may surprise some people. Catcher Ronny Paulino, left fielder Jason Bay, and first baseman Adam LaRoche had horrible seasons last year, and are capable of much better.
PNC Park will still be a gorgeous place to watch baseball and the schedule allows for plenty of day games this summer. Find great seat and affordable Pittsburgh Pirates tickets at www.onlineseats.com.
