The 1970s were both successful and tragic for the Pittsburgh
Pirates. They won five NL Eastern Division crowns and the 1971
World Championship, but lost the great Roberto Clemente in a plane
crash and pitcher Bob Mosse in a car accident during this time. By
the end of the 1970s, the Pirates were a good team, but no longer
were considered favorites to win a World Series. Thanks to a
fantastic finish in 1978, the Pittsburghers gained new hope for the
1979 season. As intriguing as the season was, it wasn't until the
evening of August 25th that the Pirate fans really started to
believe ""it"" could truly happen. The history of that magical ball
club is covered here, from how the 1979 world champion team was
built, to a thorough look at the season and post season, to how
""The Family"" finally fell. Also included are biographical
sketches of each player who appeared on the team's roster that year
and a section of complete statistics.
