With virtually the same lineup that had won both the National
League pennant and the World Series the previous season, the 1926
Pittsburgh Pirates were favored by the majority of preseason
prognosticators to capture the pennant for the second year in a
row. But they finished in third place, four and a half games behind
the St. Louis Cardinals. That failure has largely been attributed
to the ""ABC Affair,"" the alleged dissension between vice
president and assistant to the manager Fred Clarke and several
players who attempted to remove him. This retelling of the story
shows that the blame assigned to Clarke has mostly been misplaced
and that the reasons for the Bucs' 1926 failure were far more
complex.
