Instead, the record of its formation and growth more closely resembles a biography. Each club mirrors the character of those who nurtured its development and wore its uniforms. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe Pittsburgh ball club is no exception. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEach generation of Pirate fans has been blessed with its own pantheon of god-like heroes: Honus Wagner, Pie Traynor, Ralph Kiner, Bill Mazeroski, Roberto Clemente, and Wille Stargell. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe Bucs shows how Pittsburgh lost the ʼ27 World Series to the Yankees in batting practice. It recalls the miracle of 1960 when Mazeroski electrified the nation with his Series-winning home run. \u003cbr\u003eThe Bucs is a must for any baseball enthusiast.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John McCollister\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1630760935\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781630760939\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lyons Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/15\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.90h x 8.50w x 0.40d","brand":"John McCollister","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43939435675903,"sku":"9781630760939","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_6e5ae9c9-d617-49c4-aad7-35bda9273994.jpg?v=1681441478","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-bucs-john-mccollister-9781630760939","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
