OT: ...and then Steve Blass said "Hold my beer..."

[HOF Coach]

Blass pitched 2 complete game victories in the 1971 World Series against that Baltimore pitching staff.

 

[Panther Parrothead]

The fact that the Pirates beat the Orioles - a team with four 20-game winners - is a feat that will probably never happen again.

Addendum: prior to that World Series, Orioles manager Earl Weaver was quoted as saying that the Pirates would never win a World Series with Jackie Hernandez as their starting shortstop. Take that, Earl!

And as long as the Pirates are owned by Nutting, we may never see them play in a World Series again.

With Nutting and Peter Angelos as their respective owners, the Pirates or Orioles in the World Series, let alone playing each other, is certainly a feat that will never happen again. Probably the two worst owners in MLB.

Back when starting pitchers went beyond the 5th inning.
