Willie Stargell's 1979 postseason was INCREDIBLE!

[@LouisLombardoJr-ed4rm]

Stargell was simply great

[@staunchx]

Not just on the field either, but also off it. A true legend.

[@vegasdano7569]

Yuuup 👍🏼

[@steelmob]

This brings tears to my eyes I loved Willie and Roberto I was a kid growing up in Pittsburgh in the 70s got to see them and the mighty steel curtain

[@vegasdano7569]

Nice 👍🏼

[@drewhunkins7192]

I remember Stargell in this Series. It was the first World Series I ever watched as a kid. "We are family."

[@glennstraw1672]

One of the greatest human beings ever

[@UncleClaudeSportsandThangs]

"Pops" Stargell spinning the bat like a windmill. He hit some massive homeruns!

[@vegasdano7569]

You are absolutely right 👍🏼

[@richardmount543]

I love those hats the pirates wore .

[@vegasdano7569]

It was pops Stargell idea. The stars on caps.

[@Pokebro921]

He is absolutely dialed in and attempting to hurt the ball

[@PittsburghMarky]

Stargell MVP of the Regular season, Championship Series, and World Series. I don't think that's ever been duplicated.

[@rpm324]

, that was true unreal season and then the Steelers won the super in the same season

[@vegasdano7569]

All Pittsburgh year.

[@g.t.richardson6311]

[@dunemetal67]

Jacking low outside fastballs over the right field fence is a super flex

[@glennstraw1672]

Homage to a great man

[@vegasdano7569]

RIP pops 👍🏼

[@staunchx]

Ahhhh the inspirational run of Stargell & the Pirates in 1979.

[@80srocknroller]

We are family!

[@Rah-m1i]

Almost all different uniforms,loved that.

[@partycat2921]

1:45 Back when it actually got cold in October!

[@deneenjeffries2768]

No batting gloves and tearing the ball up, Aaron didn’t use them either

[@isthiswherewecamein6130]

I dare someone to find a cooler all time uni's better than the 70's Buccos!!! Thanks pop's.

[@andrewpestotnik5495]

This remains Pittsburgh's last Pennant.

[@bluemonkjd]

And their last playoff series victory, unless you count the Wild Card Game. Sigh.

[@vegasdano7569]

What other player did , what Willie Stargell could do. Playoffs & world series. And he was in his late 30s. He stuck out a lot, but Willie Stargell could hit. He hit 475 homers, voted in on first ballot to the HOF.

[@vincentrobinson3078]

That was a cold October. In fact the temperatures were in the 30’s.

[@bradlafferty6076]

I miss Dick Stockton and The great Howard CoSELL

[@freddylubin]

Difficult to remember when the Pirates, Reds, and Orioles were good.

[@vegasdano7569]

Just the pirates 👍🏼
