There is now less than a week and a half remaining until the Pittsburgh Pirates hold their first workout of Spring Training 2018. In just 9 days, the team’s pitchers and catchers will take to the fields of Pirate City for their first workout of the spring.
When it comes to the Pittsburgh Pirates and the number 9 there is only one player that comes to mind – Hall of Fame second baseman Bill Mazeroski.
Bill Mazeroski is arguably the greatest defensive second baseman in the history of Major Leauge Baseball. This is a major reason why the Wheeling, West Virginia, native was elected into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 2001.
