Moments of Joy and Heartbreak 66 Significant Episodes in the History of the Pittsburgh Pirates (SABR Digital Library, #46) (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The Pittsburgh Pirates have a long history, peppered with moments significant both to Pirates fans and Major League Baseball. While the Pirates are recognized as fielding the first all-black lineup in 1971, the 66 games in this book include one of the first matchups in the majors to involve two non-white opening hurlers (Native American and Cuban) in June 1921. We relive no-hitters, World Series-winning homers, and

encounter the story of the last tripleheader ever played in major- league baseball. Famous Pirates like Honus Wagner and

Roberto Clemente-and infamous ones like Dock Ellis-make their appearances on the field, as well as recent stars like Andrew McCutcheon. Some of the games are wins; some are losses. All of these essays provide readers with a sense of the totality of the Pirates' experiences: the joy, the heartbreak, and other aspects of baseball (and life) in between.
