1979 En 1979 los Piratas de Pittsburgh utilizaron 64 combinaciones posibles de uniformes entre gorras negras y uniformes amarillos, o bién, gorras amarillas y trajes negros, y esta temporada no sólo se recuerda por eso, sino que también conformaron un gran equipo de beisbol que los llevó al campeonato del clásico de otoño. En el equipo también había diversas corpulencias, pues un fortachón Dave Parker (0.310,25HR, 94CP) contrastaba con Kent Tekulve (10-8, 2.75CLP), un delgado pitcher que otorgó grandes trabajos de relevo al club. Los Piratas fueron llamados “la familia”, y ganaron la división Este por dos juegos de ventaja sobre Montreal. Por otro lado, en la Liga Americana los Yankees no pudieron repetir su campeonato viéndose perjudicados por lesiones de su as del relevo Goose Gossage (5-3, 2.62CLP, 18SA), quien se enfrentó en dura riña con su compañero Cliff Johnson (0.266, 2HR, 6CP); además, su valioso catcher Thurman Munson (0.288, 3HR, 39CP) lamentablemente falleció en un accidente cuando tripulaba su avioneta en el mes de agosto. Los Orioles de Baltimore terminaron un reinado de tres años de los Yankees ganando 102 juegos. Mike Flanagan (23-9, 3.08CLP) se distinguió por Baltimore en la loma de los disparos, mientras que el veterano Ken Singleton (0.295, 35HR, 111CP) aportó grandes batazos a la ofensiva llevando al club a un primer lugar en el standing quedando Cerveceros a 8 juegos en segundo lugar y Medias Rojas en tercero a 11 y medio. Con este último equipo brillaron Fred Lynn (0.333, 39HR, 122CP, 116CA) y Jim Rice (0.325, 39HR, 130CP, 117CA) quienes quedaron empatados en segundo lugar en cuadrangulares con 39, pero su dolor de cabeza fue el pitcheo al abandonarlos Luis Tiant que trabajó para los Yankees (13-8, 3.91CLP). El oeste de la Americana estuvo bastante reñido con cuatro equipos peleando en los últimos 6 juegos de la temporada; Los Angeles de California se quedaron con la división finalmente llevados por su as del bateo Don Baylor (0.296, 36HR, 139CP, 120CA), jugador más valioso de la liga. Los Mellizos tuvieron un excelente temporada quedando a 6 juegos del líder contando entre su más productivos lanzadores a Jerry Koosman (20-13, 3.38CLP) que en los dos años anteriores para Mets tuvo récord de 11-35. Esta temporada fue provechosa para Pete Rose (0.331, 4HR, 59CP, 90CA) que fue cambiado a los Filis de Philadelphia. En San Luis, Keith Hernández (0.344, 11HR, 105CP, 116CA) bateó lo suficiente para quedar campeón del circuito compartiendo honores con Willie Stargell (0.281, 32HR, 82CP) en el trofeo de 1 Jugador Más Valioso de la Liga Nacional. Lou Brock (0.304, 5HR, 38CP, 56CA) se retiró con 938 bases robadas y Bruce Sutter (6-6, 2.22CLP, 37SA) de Chicago se quedó con el Cy Young al salvar 37 juegos. Los Rojos de Cincinnati, aún sin Rose, quedaron campeones de su división contando con el excelente trabajo de Tom Seaver (16-6, 3.14CLP) dejando fuera a los Astros de Houston quienes tenían un excelente cuerpo de pitcheo: Joe Niekro (21-11, 3.00CLP), J. R. Richard (18-13, 2.71CLP) y Ken Forsh (11-6, 3.04CLP), lanzando este último un sin hit ni carrera el día 7 de abril contra Expos. Piratas venció a Rojos y Orioles a los Angeles para irse ambos a la serie mundial. La serie comenzó el día 10 de julio. Los Orioles anotaron cinco veces en la primera entrada, y aunque fue el único inning con anotaciones, se llevaron el veredicto 5-4; Willie Stargell conectó jonrón para acercar a los Piratas pero el tiempo se les acabó. Mike Flanagan fue el lanzador victorioso cubriendo la ruta en el estadio de Baltimore. En el segundo partido, Manny Sanguillén (0.230, 0, 4CP) como bateador emergente conecta un sencillo trayendo a la registradora a Ed Ott (0.273, 7HR, 51CP) para que Pittsburgh se llevara el triunfo 2-1 en la novena entrada empatando la serie en forma emocionate. Para el tercer partido las acciones se trasladan a Pittsburgh, donde Kiko García (0.247, 5HR, 24CP) conecta 4 hits y empuja 4 carreras para llevar al triunfo a los Orioles 8-4. Al siguiente día, Baltimore anota 6 carreras en el octavo inning en una victoria 9-6 adelantándose en la serie 3-1. Para el cuarto juego, Bill Madlock (0.328, 7HR, 44CP) conduce a Piratas a una victoria de 7-1 bateando 4 hits, mientras que su compañero Tim Foli (0.291, 1HR, 65CP) produce 4 carreras bastante útiles. Con la serie 3-2 a favor de los Orioles, las acciones vuelven a Baltimore. En este quinto juego, John Candelaria (14-9, 3.22CLP) y Kent Tekulve se combinan para una blanqueada 4-0 dejando fríos a los aficionados para un séptimo juego; Omar Moreno (0.282, 8HR, 69CP) conecta 3 imparables. Para el último encuentro, ya por el campeonato, el jefe Wille Stargell conecta su tercer jonrón de la serie y lleva a los Piratas a una victoria 4-1 adjudicándose Pittsburgh el clásico de otoño ganando tres partidos en forma consecutiva y dos en patio ajeno. NOTAS CORTAS: Willie Stargell es el líder de bateo en la serie mundial con 0.400, tres jonrones y siete producidas. Es el bateador de más edad (39 años) en ganar el título de jugador más valioso. Phil Garner (0.293, 11HR, 59CP) y Tim Foli se combinan para 22 hits y 10 carreras anotadas en la serie. Don Baylor es el jugador más valioso de la Liga Americana con Los Angeles de California.

    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.

    Heroes and Rallies Baseball

    Heroes and Rallies Baseball Setup Pick two teams to go head to head, and fill out your lineups on the scoresheet. Each team receives 8 skill assignments to give to individual players. All of the skill assignments listed below must be used within your starting lineup for a total of 8. A player may possess two assignments if you wish. Rate your lineup by placing the appropriate notation beside a player’s name on the scoresheet. 1) star hitter (H) 2) star slugger (S) 3) star runner (R) 4) star fielder (F) 5) poor hitter (H-) 6) weak hitter (S-) 7) slow runner (R-) 8) poor fielder (F-) Once a player has a skill assignment, he cannot transfer it to another player. There is one additional skill assignment available for an ace pitcher (X). You may, however, choose not to start one. Make any pitcher a poor hitter as well (H-), so there will be two poor hitters if a pitcher is in the lineup. Game Play Roll the dice for each player who comes up to bat, reading the colored die first and the white die second. If a result occurs on the Batting chart which displays an image of a ballplayer, the inning is considered finished with no further scoring. Draw an X in the box on the scoresheet representing the current hitter’s at-bat. When his team next comes up to bat, the next player in the lineup will hit. If the color of a chart result corresponds to the color of the skill assignment of the player who is currently up to bat, the result changes to the one shown on the bottom of the Batting chart.

I lusted after the various sports games advertised in the magazines until my mom finally relented and bought Strat-O-Matic Football for me in 1972. I got SOM’s baseball game a year later and I was hooked. I would get the new card set each year and attempt to play the in-progress season by moving the traded players around and turning ‘nameless player cards” into that year’s key rookies. I switched to APBA in the late ‘70’s because they started releasing some complete old season sets and the idea of playing with those really caught my fancy. Between then and the mid-nineties, I collected a lot of card sets.

    Baseball: a U.S. Sport with a Spanish- American Stamp

    ISSN 2373–874X (online) 017-01/2016EN Baseball: a U.S. Sport with a Spanish- American Stamp Orlando Alba 1 Topic: Spanish language and participation of Spanish-American players in Major League Baseball. Summary: The purpose of this paper is to highlight the importance of the Spanish language and the remarkable contribution to Major League Baseball by Spanish- American players. Keywords: baseball, sports, Major League Baseball, Spanish, Latinos Introduction The purpose of this paper is to highlight the remarkable contribution made to Major League Baseball (MLB) by players from Spanish America both in terms of © Clara González Tosat Hispanic Digital Newspapers in the United States Informes del Observatorio / Observatorio Reports. 016-12/2015EN ISSN: 2373-874X (online) doi: 10.15427/OR016-12/2015EN Instituto Cervantes at FAS - Harvard University © Instituto Cervantes at the Faculty of Arts and Sciences of Harvard University quantity and quality.1 The central idea is that the significant and valuable Spanish-American presence in the sports arena has a very positive impact on the collective psyche of the immigrant community to which these athletes belong. Moreover, this impact extends beyond the limited context of sport since, in addition to the obvious economic benefits for many families, it enhances the image of the Spanish-speaking community in the United States. At the level of language, contact allows English to influence Spanish, especially in the area of vocabulary, which Spanish assimilates and adapts according to its own peculiar structures. Baseball, which was invented in the United States during the first half of the nineteenth century, was introduced into Spanish America about thirty or forty years later.
