The Pittsburgh Pirates called Forbes Field home from 1909-1970 and during those years the Pirates made four World Series appearances (’09, ’25, ’27 and ’60) with three World Series victories (’09, ’25 and ’60). 37 of those 62 seasons were winning ones for the Pirates compiling an overall record of 4,756 wins to 4,644 losses and their record at Forbes Field was 2,599 wins versus 2,125 losses.

Forbes Field saw so many great opposing players play there: Hank Aaron, Sandy Koufax, Mickey Mantle, Willie Mays, Stan Musial, Babe Ruth, Warren Spahn, etc., the list goes on and on. Imagine the all-time opponent team one could field, but what of the Pirates? What would the all-time Forbes Field Pittsburgh Pirates team look like?

Two of the most beloved Pittsburgh Pirates teams were the 1960 and the 1971 Pirates. How would those two teams have fared against one another in a seven-game series, in a battle of World Series Champions 1960 versus 1971?

No Pirates fan under the age of 50 actually remembers watching the last time the Pittsburgh Pirates won a World Series. For older fans that were fortunate enough to remember the 1970s, it was the Pirates golden age. Six division titles and two World Series titles that decade.

Led by aging superstars, both the 1971 and the 1979 teams went on to defeat the Baltimore Orioles in the World Series in seven games. How would those the 1971 and the 1979 teams fared against one another in a seven-game series?

More than 40 seasons have gone by since the last time the Detroit Tigers won a World Series. Which means that no Tigers fan under the age of 40 remembers or knows what it feels like to get caught up in the excitement of watching the Tigers win a World Series.

As a sports fan, it is nice to look back and reminisce about your team’s better days and good times, and as every loyal Detroit Tigers fan knows, the last two Tigers teams to win a World Series were in 1968 and in 1984. How did they each get there, and which would win a seven-game series against the other: the 1968 Detroit Tigers or the 1984 Detroit Tigers?
