Book excerpt: The 50 Greatest Pittsburgh Pirates not only brings to life the greatest players in the history of the National League franchise, but relives many of the greatest moments in team history. From Hall of Famer Bill Mazeroski's game-winning home run in the seventh game of the 1960 World Series - perhaps the most significant home run hit in baseball history - to pitchers' no-hitters, swingers' clutch swats, and other memorable moments in Pirate annals, a review of the best players who have worn the Pittsburgh uniform vividly brings forth key accomplishments in more than a century's worth of club play. Offered are up-close-and-personal looks at the most famous players in team history, accompanied by facts detailing what they accomplished and what they were thinking when they achieved their greatest moments, capturing batting titles, winning 20 games, or setting team records for the lowest earning run average or the most home runs.
