About this book

Even before their first World Series title, the team had won three consecutive National League pennants from 1901 to 1903, giving them a very successful start. Unfortunately, the team lost their first potential title to the Boston Americans in 1903, but only had to wait six years before defeating the Detroit Tigers 4-3. The team would see four more World Series titles come their way over the decades, with the most memorable happening in 1960. This was the only ever World Series game to be won with a home run, with Bill Mazeroski defeating the Yankees with a walk-off home run. Sadly the team experienced 20 straight losing seasons between 1993 to 2012, which was the worst streak in North American sports history, but it was finally broken with a 94-68 season in 2013 and their first playoff win since their last World Series victory in 1979.

This Pittsburgh Pirates book is filled with newspaper reports on the team’s biggest events and star players, showing how the Washington Post reported on the events at the time.

Are the pages real, or reproductions of newspapers?

The pages are scans of original newspaper pages. Every effort has been made to clean up scans to make them as clear as possible. In some instances there will be blemishes and the reproduction quality may not be as clear or precise as copying directly from the actual papers itself.
