On the heels of my City of Champions co-writer Larry Snyder who posed the question, “Who is your favorite Pirates manager of all-time?,” comes the subjective question, “Which is your favorite Buccos team of all-time?”
Some of the younger readers haven’t had the experience of following a Pittsburgh team that won a World Series, or perhaps their parents have told them stories of glory years gone by. After all, it’s been almost 36 years since the Pirates last won a World Series in 1979.
Prior to that, it was just eight years before that they had won their fourth ever world title in 1971.
