Pretty sure Tim Wakefield threw the greatest pitch in the history of Major League Baseball in the 1992 NLCS

OTD 6/4/92: On a rainy day, Bryan Trottier, hoisting Lord Stanley’s chalice over his head, turns the tarp into a giant slip‘n slide for #Pittsburgh #Penguins #StanleyCup celebration at Three Rivers Stadium 🏟 . #LetsGoPens #LetsGoBucs #Pirates

This video shot by the Pirates of Cutch’s reaction to Santana’s homer reminded me of the closing credits to “This Week in Baseball.” Enjoy #LetsGoBucs

35 years ago today, Mario Lemieux scored one of the most iconic goals in NHL history during the 1991 #StanleyCup Final! 😍 Mike Lange on the call 🎙️ for this Super Mario goal was pure magic. #LetsGoPens

OTD 7/10/88: All Star ⭐️ Old-Timers Game Reputed spitballer Gaylord Perry was pitching when fmr #Pittsburgh #Pirates Al Oliver requested the ball be inspected. Perry poured a cup of water on the ball in response. Oliver then hit a HR! 💪 #LetsGoBucs

Remembering former #Pittsburgh #Pirates manager Chuck Tanner, born OTD 7/4/1928. My fave Chuck memory: 1984 vs #Chicago #Cubs bottom of the 11th, 7-7 game at Wrigley. He’s out there moving infielders around like a goddam symphony conductor. #LetsGoBucs

OTD 3 YEARS AGO 6/30/2023 Carlos Santana’s epic walk-off 2-run HR w/2 outs in the bottom of the 9th, Greg Brown on the 🎙️ , one of his best ever #Pittsburgh #Pirates #LetsGoBucs

Forget “Enter the Sandman” or Timmy Trumpet. The coolest closer entrance in MLB history is “The Rubberband Man” by The Spinners for #Pittsburgh #Pirates closer Kent Tekulve. 😎 HBD 🎂 3/5/1947 Teke! #LetsGoBucs

Happy #PresidentsDay 🇺🇸 9/30/88: Ronald Reagan throws out two 1st pitches before the #Pirates - #Cubs game at Wrigley Field. #Pirates Mgr Jim Leyland seized the moment to shake hands &amp; speak with President Reagan as he was leaving the field. #LetsGoBucs

Rest in Power Dave Parker 🐍 Pittsburgh Pirates 2025 Hall of Fame Class Very sad news to learn today. My deepest condolences to his family, friends and all of his fans.

The most indelible Bill Mazeroski moment to me, the one that epitomized who he was, was not the famous home run to win the 1960 Series, but this speech. After a 29-year wait, he was inducted into the Hall of Fame. Overcome with emotion, Maz cuts his speech short: #RIPMaz

Remember that time THIS happened to Bucco 3B Pedro Alvarez?! Something you NEVER see in baseball- but it actually DID happen! 🤯 #Pittsburgh #Pirates #LetsGoBucs #Milwaukee #Brewers

POV: when the game of #baseball takes a backseat to what’s really important. In a 1990 game at Wrigley Field, the #pittsburgh #pirates Barry Bonds, who had homered in his previous at-bat, lined a sharp foul that struck a young fan. #letsgobucs #kindness

You’ll see a lot of “OTD in 1992” posts today, but if you’re a #Pirates fan this is the most poignant: In 2010, Andy Van Slyke shared how the pain still lingered from the ‘92 NLCS Game 7 loss, speaking for all #Pittsburgh fans in doing so: #LetsGoBucs

OTD 5/18/87: NBC Today Show came to #Pittsburgh to showcase “America’s Most Livable City!” Bryant Gumbel sat down w/Willie Stargell ⭐️ , #Pirates prez Malcolm Prine, &amp; Sid Bream to discuss the state of the troubled #Pittsburgh baseball club. #LetsGoBucs

POV: that feeling when you are one strike away from taking your club to the #WorldSeries! #Pittsburgh #Pirates #LetsGoBucs #postseason

Jack Suwinski redemption season loading 😤 #LetsGoBucs ⚔️ ☠️

HBD 🎂 2/15/1983 to former #Pittsburgh #Pirates catcher Russell Martin! Seems like as good an excuse as any to post the following video: #LetsGoBucs

🚨 Trigger Warning 🚨 Bob Costas sits down with Manager Jim Leyland to break down, from his perspective, what happened in the 9th inning of 1992 NLCS Game 7, #Pittsburgh #Pirates vs #Braves, for MLB Network.

RIP Ozzy Osbourne

Greg Brown, Phil Garner, Manny Sanguillen, and The Cobra 🐍 himself, on the greatness of Dave Parker! “If you wanna know how good I am, ask me, I’ll tell you.”
