- How the Pittsburgh Pirates Got their Name
My favorite team in baseball is the Pittsburgh Pirates. As a kid in the 1970's, there was plenty to cheer about with players like Willie Stargell, Roberto Clemente, Dave Parker, and sidewinding pitcher Kent Tekulve. I guess I just took it for granted that the team I loved has a pretty cool swashbuckling name of the Pirates. Well as I git older one of the questions that arise is what is the affiliation with a buccaneer in a town that has no coastline, but only rivers? I dove into the research on it and what I found is an interesting story that even includes my hometown of Erie, PA.
