The Pittsburgh Pirates have a long history, peppered with
moments significant both to Pirates fans and Major League
Baseball. While the Pirates are recognized as fielding the first
all-black lineup in 1971, the 66 games in this book include one
of the first matchups in the majors to involve two non-white
opening hurlers (Native American and Cuban) in June 1921.
We relive no-hitters, World Series-winning homers, and

encounter the story of the last tripleheader ever played in major-
league baseball. Famous Pirates like Honus Wagner and

Roberto Clemente—and infamous ones like Dock Ellis—make
their appearances on the field, as well as recent stars like
Andrew McCutcheon.
Some of the games are wins; some are losses. All of these
essays provide readers with a sense of the totality of the
Pirates' experiences: the joy, the heartbreak, and other aspects
of baseball (and life) in between.
