It's sad to see this happen to an organization as great as the Pittsburgh Pirates.
The Clemente-led Pirates of 1971 remains one of my all-time favorite "teams," with characters like Sanguillen, Stargell, Blass, Moose, Hebner, Ellis and the legendary Mazeroski all playing a prominent role in bringing that championship to Pittsburgh. The '79 Pirates featured a truly gifted hitter in Dave Parker, but it was the 39-year-old Stargell - "Pops" - who will always be remembered as the heart and soul of that "We Are Family" championship season.
This lifetime St. Louis Cardinals fan would love to see a more competitive Pittsburgh team in the N.L. Central.
