Product Description
No one expected the 1960 Pittsburgh Pirates to win the National League pennant let alone the World Series against the mighty New York Yankees. But with Cy Young winner, Vernon Law, National League Most Valuable Player Dick Groat, and a group of over-achieving, come from behind players, they managed it all to the battle cry of “Beat µEm Bucs.” Beat µEm Bucs follows the Pirates as they fight their way to their first World Championship in thirty-five years. With future Hall of Famers Roberto Clemente and Bill Mazeroski, and a group of never say die, little known players, they fought to the final out. Now, fifty years later, the team and the final Series game are still remembered by fans who gather to listen to Game 7 at the one remaining Forbes Field wall where the calendar is turned back and once again it is October 13, 1960.
