Every kid on the 70s mimicked that warmup swing

I know I did. Our whole little league in Edgeworth had their own Stargell windmill pump version and if you ever hit one out, we practiced his Home Run Trot, we loved that Pirates Team. My Mom, God Bless her brought us kids by bus to Game 4 of the 1971 World Series sat right behind Willie in left and watched with amazement of the magic of Roberto Clemente, the Series MVP. Thanks Mom!!!

It was Clemente in the ‘71 Series and Stargell in the ‘79 Series. The 70s was a good decade for the Bucs.

From the mid-1960's through the 1970's the Pirates were the biggest road attendance team in MLB. Everyone wanted to see Clemente and Stargell.

It was a Privelege Watching Clemente and Stargell. Real Legends and Treated Fans Like We Were The Stars.

Reds, Orioles, Pirates, A's Yankees, Royals & Phillies very good ball clubs.

What was missing was the All Star Game MVP, which he wasn't even selected as an All Star that year, but his teammate Dave Parker took home the All Star game MVP.. What an amazing year for Pops.

@timcarroll490 Год назад

Willie's my favorite ever!

@johnmatzye6633 Год назад

Pittsburgh-"Seven Heaven in the 70'." Two W.S. - Four S.B. - NCAA national in football. Liked that Sports Illustrated cover of Pop and Bradshaw.

@martintruther5808 Год назад

That trademark Stargell bat pump before every pitch.

@louisvelez40 2 года назад

The previous year he was comeback player of the year. Remember he was near 40 accomplishing this which makes it even more impressive. He had such a great presence in the clubhouse and wonderful man. R.I.P. Willie

@ericdailey8587 2 года назад

The MLB didn’t start giving out Comeback Player of the Year until 2005. So, who gave Willie the award in 1978?

@nicktsambassis8913 2 года назад

I always loved that Chicken on the Hill with Will!

@ulyssesfister3735 Год назад

Flanagan won his only cy-young that year in '79. Willie crushed him.

@anthonybatulis6516 Год назад

I went to a bunch of Pirate games in 79 including game 5 of the series. Those were great memories.

@johnmatzye6633 Год назад

You said you went to many games in 1979. I wondered how Ed Ott feels about the new rule. Not allowed to run over the catcher. He loved that part of the game. One catcher you couldn't run over.

@anthonybatulis6516 Год назад

@@johnmatzye6633 Ed Ott was an awesome catcher. Steve Nicosia was pretty good to.

@BloodoperaBlackvomit 2 года назад

He was, like a no-doubter homerun, the BEST player that year.

@stephaniemalley5694 2 года назад

He's oldest player in the NL league

@stevereber 2 года назад

Fantastic pic. My first year following baseball and 1st Favorite team & Player.

@ronjeremy65 Год назад

I miss those days, I saw Clemente play.

@user-dv3do1od2r 3 месяца назад

Stargell & Gibson kinda had similar MVP seasons in the fact their stats were OK, but their leadership was beyond metrics (Kirk Gibson)

@noeltaylor3594 3 дня назад

LOL. Howard Cossell says "THE BIG MAN" during the home run trot. Just looked up his stats. He was listed at 6'-2", 188 lbs. Wow, we all thought he was big back then, but he's normal now, if not small for a first baseman.
