  • The Decline and Fall of the Pirates Family
    Chapter One The Decline and Fall of the Pirates Family The 1980–1985 Seasons ♦◊♦ As over forty-four thousand Pirates fans headed to Three Rivers Sta- dium for the home opener of the 1980 season, they had every reason to feel optimistic about the Pirates and Pittsburgh sports in general. In the 1970s, their Pirates had captured six divisional titles, two National League pennants, and two World Series championships. Their Steelers, after decades of futility, had won four Super Bowls in the 1970s, while the University of Pittsburgh Panthers led by Heisman Trophy winner Tony Dorsett added to the excitement by winning a collegiate national championship in football. There was no reason for Pittsburgh sports fans to doubt that the 1980s would bring even more titles to the City of Champions. After the “We Are Family” Pirates, led by Willie Stargell, won the 1979 World Series, the ballclub’s goals for 1980 were “Two in a Row and Two Million Fans.”1 If the Pirates repeated as World Series champions, it would mark the first time that a Pirates team had accomplished that feat in franchise history. If two million fans came out to Three Rivers Stadium to see the Pirates win back-to-back World Series titles, it would 3 © 2017 University of Pittsburgh Press.

The offseason after the 1979 World Series victory was a whirlwind of awards and honors, highlighted by World Series Most Valuable Player (MVP) Willie Stargell and Super Bowl MVP Terry Bradshaw of the Steelers appearing on the cover of the December 24, 1979, Sports Illustrated as corecipients of the magazine’s Sportsman of the Year Award.

  • Long Gone Reminder
    ARTI FACT LONG GONE REMINDER IN THE REVERED TRADITION OF NEIGHBORHOOD BALLPARKS, PITTSBURGH’S FORBES FIELD WAS ONE OF THE GREATS. Built in 1909, it was among the first made of concrete and steel, signaling the end of the old wooden stadiums. In a city known for its work ethic, Forbes Field bespoke a serious approach to leisure. The exterior was elaborate, the outfield vast. A review of the time stated, “For architectural beauty, imposing size, solid construction, and public comfort and convenience, it has not its superior in the world.” THE STADIUM WAS HOME TO THE PITTSBURGH PIRATES FROM 1909 TO 1970. In the sum- mer of 1921, it was the site of the first radio broadcast of a major league game. It was here that Babe Ruth hit his final home run. In later decades, a new generation of fans thrilled to the heroics of Roberto Clemente and his mates; Forbes was the scene of one of the game’s immortal moments, when the Pirates’ Bill Mazeroski hit a home run to win the thrilling 1960 World Series in game seven against the hated Yankees. The University of Pittsburgh’s towering Cathedral of Learning served as an observation deck for fans on the outside (pictured). AT THE DAWN OF THE 1970S, SEISMIC CHANGES IN THE STEEL INDUSTRY WERE UNDERWAY, and Pittsburgh faced an uncertain future. Almost as a ritual goodbye to the past, Forbes Field was demolished, replaced with a high tech arena with Astroturf at the confluence of the Allegheny, Monongahela, and Ohio Rivers. Three Rivers Stadium was part of the multi-purpose megastadium wave of the 1970s.

    Roberto Clemente, A Hero On and Off the Baseball Field Roberto Clemente, A Hero On and Off the Baseball Field by Caitlyn Meagher Jay Publishing via https://www.tradingcarddb.com/Checklist.cfm/sid/59846 Roberto Clemente Roberto Clemente was a star baseball player. He was born in Puerto Rico and was the youngest of five children. As a child, he worked alongside his father in the sugar fields. His family soon realized he had athletic talent. Clemente began focusing on baseball. In 1955, the Pittsburgh Pirates selected him to be a part of their Major League Baseball team. He would go on to play for them for 18 seasons! Clemente was an expert on the baseball field. He played right fielder and won 12 Gold Glove Awards for his excellence in the outfield. One of his most memorable saves was crashing into the right field wall to catch a ball. Bob Stevens, a baseball writer, said the catch was "ranking with the greatest of all time..." This catch helped the Pirates win the game! Clemente would continue to make amazing saves for his team. He was also an incredible batter and hit several home runs throughout his career. In 1971, The Pirates went to the World Series, the most important game series in Major League Baseball. They played the Baltimore Orioles, a team that was heavily favored to win. Clemente hit a home run and saved many balls in the outfield. The Pittsburgh Pirates won the title! When he wasn't playing baseball, Roberto Clemente would often fly to Puerto Rico and other parts of Latin America.

  • The Pittsburgh I Remember Is a City That Will Use This Act of Hate to Build a Place of Love and Hope
    THE PITTSBURGH I REMEMBER IS A CITY THAT WILL USE THIS ACT OF HATE TO BUILD A PLACE OF LOVE AND HOPE By Ron Sirak • @ronsirak October 28, 2018 I remember the old Pittsburgh, the grimy city of steel mills and pollution, a lunch pail-carrying kind of place where the sweat of the blast furnaces was washed away with a shot and a beer. I remember a fiercely proud area that viewed Eastern Pennsylvania as another state, perhaps even another country. Pittsburgh, Western Pennsylvania, even has its own language. Phrases such as: “What yinz doin’ after you red up the house?” clang on the outsider’s ear like the wail of a car alarm at 3 in the morning. My mother, who worked as a welder from 7 a.m. until 3:30 p.m. and then as a cleaning woman in an office from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., said of Eastern Pa.: “They’re from the anthracite region; we’re from the bituminous region,” as if that was a stamp you’d get on your passport. My father drove a ladle crane in about every mill in Western Pa. and Eastern Ohio as the steel industry was dying. United Engineering. Mesta Machine. Youngstown Sheet & Tube, Sharon Steel, Jones & Laughlin and finally Pennsylvania Engineering in our hometown of New Castle, 50 miles from Pittsburgh. That’s where he was working when he died at the age of 45, the life sucked from him by relentlessly hard work. When I was a kid the Interstate hadn’t been built yet and the drive to Pittsburgh to see a Pirates game at Forbes Field was an arduous affair, following a windy road that that traced the river.

  • 1.) What Was the Original Name of the Pittsburgh Steelers? B. the Pirates
    1.) What was the original name of the Pittsburgh Steelers? B. The Pirates The Pittsburgh football franchise was founded by Art Rooney on July 7, 1933. When he chose the name for his team, he followed the customary practice around the National Football League of naming the football team the same as the baseball team if there was already a baseball team established in the city. So the professional football team was originally called the Pittsburgh Pirates. 2.) How many Pittsburgh Steelers have had their picture on a Wheaties Box? C. 13 Since Wheaties boxes have started featuring professional athletes and other famous people, 13 Steelers have had their pictures on the box. These players are Kevin Greene, Greg Lloyd, Neil O'Donnell, Yancey Thigpen, Bam Morris, Franco Harris, Joe Greene, Terry Bradshaw, Barry Foster, Merril Hoge, Carnell Lake, Bobby Layne, and Rod Woodson. 3.) How did sportscaster Curt Gowdy refer to the Immaculate Reception, which happened two days before Christmas? Watch video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GMuUBZ_DAeM A.
