World Series

[edit]
Main article:1979 World Series

The Pirates became one of only six teams in the 20th century to have won a World Series after trailing three games to one. Two of those teams were the Pirates, in1925 and 1979. The others were the1903 Boston Red Sox (in a best-of-nine series),1958 New York Yankees,1968 Detroit Tigers, and1985 Kansas City Royals. Five Pirates had 10 or more hits in this series, a World Series record.

Chuck Tanner's mother died the morning of Game 5 (this was mentioned during the telecast by announcerHoward Cosell).1960 World Series heroBill Mazeroski threw out the first ball in Game 5.The Pittsburgh Pirates were the last team in the 20th Century to win Game 7 of the World Series on the road.U.S. PresidentJimmy Carter made an appearance in Game 7, he threw out the first ball, and after the game made a visit to the victorious Pittsburgh locker room.

Willie Stargell at 39 was the oldest player to win MVP honors for both theNational League and theWorld Series. In the World Series, he hit .400 with a record seven extra-base hits and matched Reggie Jackson's record of 25 total bases, set in 1977. Stargell, pitcherBruce Kison, infielderRennie Stennett, and catcherManny Sanguillén were the only players left over from the1971 World Series, when the Pirates faced the Orioles. Orioles' pitcherJim Palmer,Mark Belanger, and managerEarl Weaver were the only ones who were still with the team that faced the Pirates in 1971.

As was the case when the same two teams played in the 1971 World Series, a game in Baltimore was rained out. Game 1 of this series was postponed, while Game 2 of the 1971 series had to be moved back a day. In this Series, it was the American League team's "turn" to play by National League rules, meaning that there was nodesignated hitter and the Orioles' pitchers would have to bat. While this resulted in pitcherTim Stoddard getting his first major league hit and RBI in Game 4. Overall, it hurt the Orioles becauseLee May, their designated hitter for much of the season and a key part of their offense, was only able to bat three times in the whole series.The Pirates wore four different uniform combinations during the series: gold cap, black jersey and gold pants for Games 1 & 5, black cap, gold jersey and black pants for Games 2, 6 & 7, black cap and solid white pinstriped uniform for Game 3 and a black cap and solid gold uniform for Game 4.
