Pittsburgh Pirates

The Pittsburgh Pirates play in one of baseball's most scenic ballparks, PNC Park, with sweeping views of the Pittsburgh skyline across the Allegheny River. The black-and-gold franchise has a long history of homegrown pitching and a fiercely loyal, blue-collar fan base. Pittsburgh's baseball tradition runs deep, tracing back to the 19th century. Even in leaner years, the Pirates' ballpark experience is consistently ranked among the best in the sport.

The Pirates franchise dates to 1881 and has been a National League fixture ever since. Pittsburgh's championship history includes titles in 1909, 1925, and 1960 (capped by Bill Mazeroski's legendary walk-off home run), plus the "We Are Family" 1979 champions led by Willie Stargell. The Pirates were also home to Hall of Famer Roberto Clemente, one of the game's most revered figures on and off the field. Five World Series titles anchor a proud, century-plus legacy.
