There is no such thing as a bad World Series winner from 1971 or 1979.

1. Gee I wonder who won that year..

Surely someone will fill me in..oh wait...I think..I'm having a vision..some team that hasn't had a winning season in almost 20 years based in a Keystone state......

3. Jesus - he had to go back to when we were in diapers.

5. Nice post, Tcboy4Z!!

2. 1960, on the other hand...

:shrug:

[madinmaryland]

4. Ahhh yes! One of the Greatest World Series EVER!!

[Bunny]

6. Yes!

7. .

:thumbsup:

Would you believe I became a fan of the Orioles in my later years? Even took in a game at Camden Yards. No one tops the Buccos, though.

[madinmaryland]

8. I've been to more O's games than Pirates games, though I am only 15 minutes

from Camden Yards.

[Bunny]

9. PNC Park and Camden Yards are two beautiful parks.

I'd love to get back to Baltimore some day and see a few more games.

[madinmaryland]

10. I saw the Pirates back in the 70's when they were in Three Rivers Stadium.

What a bland, sterile environment.

[Bunny]

11. The Toilet Bowl?

Yeah, it was awful. Absolutely the worst place for baseball. Perfect for the Steelers of the 70's, though.

13. I saw my first baseball game at 3 Rivers in 1970 at age 12

My eyes were as big as saucers then.

[madinmaryland]

14. I saw the Pirates in Riverfront in 1970 (the year it opened) and in Three Rivers

in 77 and 78.

[MrPerson]

12. The Pirates are God's Team.

[cloudbase]

15. I grew up in the 'burgh,

but in 1979 was living in Baltimore. I had an apartment on St. Paul Street, and most of the traffic southbound from the ballpark went down that street. As the season wore on, and the Orioles continued to win, there was quite a bit of horn honking from the fans. There was even more when the O's went up 3 games to 1 in the series, but it got awful quiet after that.

16. No Phils in 1980?

[Zavulon]

17. There's also no such thing as a .500-or-better season for that team from 1993 to present.

:evilgrin:

[madinmaryland]

18. Are you a fan of the Washington Reag-Nats??

:shrug:

[Zavulon]

20. No, I bailed on the team when they left Montreal.

I was an Expos fan from their first day until their last because I lived in Quebec when the team was formed. I couldn't follow them once they left.

[nickgutierrez]

19. Which one of those did the Giants win? n/t

[madinmaryland]

21. Heh! The Pirates beat the Giants in 1971 to get to teh World Series.

Thanks for asking, cboy!

[nickgutierrez]

22. !

:rofl:

The latter of those two did happen four years before I was born, though. Just sayin'.

[madinmaryland]

24. Interestingly, I was born nearly 9 months to the day after the Bill Mazeroski

home run that beat the Skankees!!

[surrealAmerican]

23. 1979? That's pretty recent.

It sure must be easy to root for a team that wins so often.

[madinmaryland]

25. But didn't the White Sox just win teh Series a couple of years ago??

:hide:
