The greatest moments in Pittsburgh Pirates history

[zfine]

i was laying in the hospital alone, in another city, very sick. watching the "cueto" game. barely could keep my eyes open. when russel martin hit that ball i popped up in bed, and screamed. i felt like i was at PNC park with 25, 000 friends

The greatest moment in Pirates history will be the day Bob Nutting sells the team.

An underrated moment from the 2013 season was the Pirates beating the Reds in Cincinnati to give the Pirates the wildcard game in Pittsburgh.

Wow, I miss the 2013 pirates so bad.... what a great time 2 be a pirates fan

Good to see the glory days, greetings from a UK Pirates fan.

I, m from over the pond we need more nights like this ...

That series against the Cardinals still brings me so much joy. The call was fantastic, the moment, the fans. It might be tied with the Cueto chant.

The Bucs have a very rich history. I'm just going to stick with the mid 50's through the 70's though that would exclude anything to do with the 1909 and 1925 World Champions as well as the 1902 team which I consider the best Pirates team of all time though it was before the modern World Series. It also excludes players like Honus Wagner, Pie Traynor, and the Waner brothers, Paul and Lloyd. There's probably no existing video on at least some of these I've included.

-Clemente's debut in 1955.
-Dale Long hitting home runs in 8 consecutive games in 1956.
-Harvey Haddix's perfect game for 12 innings in 1959, (he lost in the 13th).
-Elroy Face winning his 18th game in relief in 1959 (he was 18-1 all in relief that year).
-Clemente singles in Mays in the first All-Star game in 1961, winning the game in the 10th, (they played 2 All-Star games that year).
-Bob Moose's no hitter against the Mets at Shea Stadium in 1969.
-Dock Ellis' no hitter of San Diego in 1970, (and he was on LSD!).
-Clemente's Home run in game 7 of the 1971 World Series and Jose Pagan's single driving in Stargell for the eventual winning run in the same game.
-Rennie Stennett goes 7 for 7 against the Cubs in Chicago in a 22-0 rout in 1975.
-John Candelaria's no hitter against the Dodgers in 1976.
-Dave Parker throws out Jim Rice at third base and Brian Downing at home plate in the 1979 All-Star game. He also drove in a run by a sacrifice fly and was the game's MVP.

You can see how much I think of Clemente by him being on this list 3 times though I'm sure if I dug a bit more, there would be more, (like hitting safely in all 14 World Series games he played in). Roberto was very special and I'm glad I got to root for him, (and the Pirates), growing up.

The cutch walk off homer was one of the best Greg brown reactions

Fun fact I live in Pittsburgh PA And I love all Pittsburgh sports teams even the pirates

My 92-year old grandfather was at his house watching the 1960 World Series. When Max hit the walk off, he went so crazy he broke his couch!

Man that 2013 team was good as a cards fan i remember being nervous during the entirety of that NLDS. U kicked are asses a lot that year. Looking at some of the video from that era The way your fans showed up was impressive as hell. That place was packed to the gills. Hope someday you get the team your city deserves

[clarencehollowell]

What about the 1971 Pirates and Roberto Clemente's 3, 000

[dracomalfoy]

I miss the old team so much. Like maybe them 2010-2017ish kinda team. It makes me sad that in one of these clips the won their 90th game, and this year they’ve won 23 and we are like halfway into the season 😕

[hfkjkdoo]

need to have greg browns call with that last clip. Its amazing

[matthicksxx]

Fun fact: The Pirates have had to go all seven games for each of their World Series titles

[connorwalker]

We’re Back! Reynolds, Hayes, and Cruz all locked up through 2028. We have the makings of a very good team for years

4:11 so I was there for this game, it gives me goosebumps just thinking about it. Hard to believe it’s been 10 years. The energy that night was incredible. Never felt like we were gonna lose, just knew it was one of those magical games. It’s funny, I remember going crazy when he dropped that ball, but I didn’t remember Martins homer being the very next pitch. Some of its a blur and other things I remember very clearly
