  • Pirates Greatest Sell Sheet
    The 50 Greatest Pirates Every Fan Should Know The Pittsburgh Pirates have a long and glorious tradition spanning more than 100 years of baseball and the Pirates have been blessed with some of the best players in the game’s history wearing their uniforms and sporting a “P” on their cap. Pirate greats go back to before the turn of the 20th century and top players continue to dress out in Pittsburgh gold and black today. Any list of the best is subjective and choosing the 50 best players in Pirates history—in order—is neither easy nor free from that subjectivity, but this volume will make the case for the best of the best. No doubt some fans will debate the wisdom of certain selections or the ranking. Disagreement and controversy are ensured because no fans view the game exactly the same way. Who was better, Honus Wagner or Roberto Clemente? Who rates higher, By: Lew Freedman Bob Friend or Vernon Law? Who do you favor, Pie Traynor or Ralph Kiner? Surely the selections are great fodder for sports talk ISBN: 9781935628330 show discussion.

A Well Written and Informative Biography of Ralph KinerBy Dr. W. Terry LindleyThis is a first-rate biography of Ralph Kiner, the premier slugger of the late 1940s and early 1950s, whose career was cut short by chronic back pain. Yet, his life in baseball would last another half century, first as general manager of the San Diego Padres of the Pacific Coast League, and then as announcer for the Chicago White Sox, and from 1962 into the early 21st century as broadcaster of New York Metsrsquo; games over WOR-TV.Kiner led the National League in home runs his first seven years, which broke Babe Ruthrsquo;s record of six consecutive years. While Ruth had Lou Gehrig providing protection, Kiner had virtually no one. Kiner also played on bad teams in Pittsburgh, with the 1952 team being one of the worst in history, finishing 54.5 games out of first and 22.5 games behind the 7th place team.

(Dec. 3, 2014) – SCP Auctions’ “Fall Premier” online auction ends this Saturday, Dec. 6, at www.scpauctions.com. It features more than 1,150 lots including the coveted Chesapeake Honus Wagner 1909-11 T206 card and a small but highly significant group of Jackie Robinson related memorabilia including his spectacular Hillerich & Bradsby Model S100 ash bat, one of only two Robinson game-used bats that can be definitively documented as having been used during his 1949 MVP season. Also included is Wagner’s personal safe which was part of Wagner's estate collection received directly from the Wagner family's home in Carnegie, Pa. and sold by SCP Auctions in 2003 on behalf of Leslie Blair Wagner (Honus’s granddaughter). Can you imagine a more ideal place to store your prized T206 Honus Wagner card? For decades, Honus Wagner himself stored some his most important possessions in this floor safe. The safe, manufactured specially for Wagner by the F.L. Norton Safe Co. of Pittsburgh, Pa., dates from the turn-of-the-century. Its dimensions are 25" high by 16"wide by 17"deep and weighs about 250 pounds. Wagner's name "J.H. Wagner" is stenciled across to top in gold paint. A decorative border is stenciled around the perimeter of the door, which also bears the manufacturers markings below the dial.
