"When I was an eight-year-old Yankee fan, the ’60 Pirates and Bill Mazeroski broke my heart. I am only now prepared to forgive and recommend this fine volume which celebrates the colorful and often glorious history of the Pirates."

“From Traynor to Waner to Haddix, from Clemente to Stargell to Mazeroski, from five World Series titles to the notorious drug trials of 1985, this collection is entertaining and enlightening . . . championship caliber.”
