The Pittsburgh Pirates were founded in 1882. The team is also known as the Bucs or Buccos.

The Pirates have been quite successful as they have achieved several Pennants, Division titles and five different World Series titles their first one being in 1909 and their latest in 1979.

During the 1960’s the Pirates acquired the Puerto Rican superstar Roberto Clemente who became the best all-time hitter. Many believe Clemente to be the greatest right fielder in baseball history.

In 1970, the Pirates achieved the first of five division titles in a period of six years besides winnings the fourth World Series in 1971.

Later on during the 1990s the Pirates would win the first three division titles.
For the 2007 season the Pirates finished with a record of 68-94 and finished last in the NL Central. This 2008 season will be the 127th season for the team.

The Pirates are currently led by president Frank Coonelly, manager John Russell and general manager Neal Huntington.
