When this game started, I wasn't born yet. By the time the game ended, I was a newborn baby.

And the greatest uniforms in sports history!

1:23 awesome intro - graphics as well as music, fb my fave sport to watch but I still think of Al Michaels mostly as a baseball announcer

My cousin and I were at Gm. 5. My Dad got two level 200 (great seats for 3 Rivers) given to him, but didn't want to go, so my cousin and I went..and turned out to be the greatest game ever.

Earlier that day the Steelers got humiliated at Cincinnati 34-10. I was glad to see the Pirates win this game!

Of all teams playing in more than 2 world series the pirates have best winning percentage 5 wins 2 losses
