This is a love story. It's a collection of tales about a life-long relationship between a baseball team and its fans. The story of the Pittsburgh Pirates overflows with anecdotes and illustrations that tell us a lot about the team, about the city, and about the people who call Pittsburgh their "home." In a sense, the history of the Pirates is a mirror image of the people who were schooled in the "steel-mill mentality."

This review is from: Tales from the Pirates Dugout (Hardcover)
I agree with the Midwest Book Review. I attended a book signing and met John McCollister. It's obvious he really knows baseball and loves our Pirates.
