Yes, Pirates best year was 1902
As a Reds fan growing up, I hated the ‘79 Pirates. I wanted to go Bond Villain and hurl that “We Are Family” shit at their necks.

Same. But after a long decade of us beating their ass, they deserved a cookie.

He almost morphed into Danny Glover. Dave Concepcion looks like my elementary school janitor.

Had to do a little research…

Where’s McEnaney? Eastwick? Driessen?

I very vaguely remember this, as I was starting 1st grade. Notice the NBC News highlights are in black-and-white, yet other footage was in color. I wonder what the deal was, being it was 1973. There are some pictures of me from the late 60s in black-and-white, but everything from 1970 on was in color. Just found this interesting.

Cue Tree posting, ”You old ass Gen Xers might as well be Boomers.” You’re right, Tree. And I’m damn proud of it.

I was 5. I only remember the aftermath that followed over the years. Pete kicked his ass.
