The Pirates Reader

Rating:
Summary: Finally, a journey through the Bucs history!
Review: Excellent source for the entire history of the Pittsburgh Pirates through the birth of PNC Park. A collection of short stories, articles, and interviews from the days of Wagner and Traynor to Kiner to Mazeroski, Clemente, Stargell, Blass, Bonds.

Begins with the days of 1876 when the team was named the Pittsburgh Alleghenies, through the 1909 World Series vs. Detroit and Ty Cobb, to the Branch Rickey era, the amazing 1960 World Series, We Are Family, the drug trials of the 1980's, to the disappointing playoffs of the early 1990's.

Forbes Field to Three Rivers Stadium to the new PNC Park.
A must for every Pirate fan.
