The Pirates have had 46 different players, owners or coaches reach the Hall of Fame in their history. Some are easy to name (Roberto Clemente, Willie Stargell, Honus Wagner). Some are better known for being with another team (Connie Mack, Casey Stengel, Goose Gossage). But there is one man who made his major league debut with the Bucs but never played for them again. This is the story of Dazzy Vance.
The day is Apr. 16, 1915. It’s the third game of the season, and the Pirates are in Cincinnati to take on the Reds.
