  • 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.

  • Clemente's Overzealous Romp
    marti'n espada Clemente’s Overzealous Romp Roberto Clemente and Baseball as Theater n july 25th, 1956, Roberto Clemente did a terrible, wonder- Oful thing. In his sophomore year with the Pittsburgh Pirates, Clemente came to bat with the bases loaded, nobody out, and his team trailing the Chicago Cubs 8-5 in the bottom of the ninth at Forbes Field. He faced pitcher Jim Brosnan. As the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports: Brosnan made one pitch, high and inside. Clemente drove it against the light standard in left field. Jim King had backed up to make the catch but it was over his head. The ball bounced off the slanted side of the fencing and rolled along the cinder path to center field. Here came Hank Foiles, Bill Virdon and then Dick Cole, heading home and making it easily. Then came Clemente into third. Bobby Bragan had his hands up- stretched to hold up his outfielder. The relay was coming in from Solly Drake. But around third came Clemente and down the home path. He made it just in front of the relay from Ernie Banks. He slid, missed the plate, then reached back to rest his hand on the rubber with the ninth run in a 9-8 victory as the crowd of 12,431 went goofy with excitement. Yet, according to Bruce Markusen in his biography, Roberto Clemente: The Great One, what happened that day was “an incident” that “under- scored his naivete on the basepaths”: Clemente both heard and saw Bragan’s stop sign, but deliberately ran through it.

GRADE 5: MODULE 3A: UNIT 3: LESSON 2 Althea Gibson Article Gibson, Althea (1927–2003) From a childhood in one of New York City's poorest neighborhoods, Althea Gibson rose to become one of the top international tennis players of the 1950's. Her success helped win acceptance for African American players in the major tennis tournaments. Her aggressive style of playing helped make women's tennis the competitive sport it is today. Along the way, Gibson built up an impressive record of major wins and "firsts." She was the first black female player to compete in United States national tennis championships. She was also the first black to win a major tennis title. In 1957 and again in 1958, she won the United States women's singles title at Forest Hills, New York, and the women's singles championship at Wimbledon, near London, England. She was also a member of the winning women's doubles teams at Wimbledon for three years in a row, in 1956, 1957, and 1958. Althea Gibson was born in Silver, South Carolina, on August 25, 1927. She grew up in the Harlem section of New York City. There she learned to play paddle tennis in the Police Athletic League "play street" program. In 1941 she began to play tennis.
