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

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

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

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 3/4/1991: #Pittsburgh #Pirates 🏴‍☠️ manager Jim Leyland blows up at Barry Bonds in #SpringTraining. Bonds, 2021: “I’m almost grateful he did cuss me out because it helped us grow so close that there’s nothing that could ever separate us.” #LetsGoBucs

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.”
