Will it be 1979 all over again this year?

Ehhh, Pirates may have a chance to hold up their end of the deal if they can somehow advance to the point of beating the Dodgers, not so sure about the other end of the stick though....

How about this W-Girl and FP

Cincy vs Pit NL WC

TB vs CLE (current standings AL)

I will be rooting against you both ! LOL

I haven't followed major league baseball since the strike in the 90s, but my late dad grew up in Pittsburgh and was a lifelong Pirates fan.

He always talked about the 1960 Series - Pirates vs. Yankees. I was only 7 then and don't remember too much about it. But here are the final scores of each game, As you can see, pretty amazing.

Game one 6-4, Pit
Game two 16-3, NYY
Game three 10-0, NYY
Game four 3-2, Pit
Game five 5-2, Pit
Game six 12-0, NYY
Game seven 10,9 Pit

Notice how when the Yanks won, it was a blowout; when Pittsburgh won, it was barely.

Must have been a nailbiter of a series for Pittsburgh - especially game seven. Of course, then there was this:



GO PITTSBURGH!

My favorite 1960s world series to read about was Tigers vs Cards 1968. The Tigers winning it made no sense, but thats what makes it so cool. total upset.
