Fall Classic RewindEpisode 45 - The Dutchman - 1979 NLCS Game Three - Reds @ PiratesFriday Afternoon, October 5th, 1979 @ Three Rivers Stadium in Pittsburgh, PA
After two thrilling extra-inning victories in Cincinnati, the Pirates are headed home on the precipice of another World Series berth. The 'Family', as they are referred to by their loyal fans, have excelled in all facets of the game: great starting pitching (Candelaria and Bibby), tremendous defense (Foli, Madlock, and Ott), timely hitting (Stargell and Parker), and clutch bullpen heroics (Tekulve, Jackson, and unexpectedly Don Robinson!). Pittsburgh manager Chuck Tanner is confident those trends will continue, sending a veteran righty to the mound, Bert...2023-07-141h 13Fall Classic RewindEpisode 44 - Big Jim Bibby - 1979 NLCS Game Two - Pirates @ RedsOctober 3, 1979 @ Riverfront Stadium in Cincinnati Ohio
The National League rivals are back at it again after the Pirates won in dramatic fashion in game one, thanks in large part to MVP Willie Stargell's 3-run homer in extra innings. This will be another game that will come down to the wire, and like game one, it will be a pitchers' duel.

For John McNamara's Reds, it will be 22 year old rookie righty Frank Pastore (6 - 7 4.25...2023-07-081h 23

Talkbox Chatter"My One Rule is to Be Authentic" - An Interview with Lanny Frattare33 years with the Pittsburgh Pirates, a handful of NLCS, a couple no-hitters, plenty of walk-offs, and many memories made, Lanny Frattare called it all from 1976 to 2008. In an interview that I am more than grateful to have taken place, Frattare takes some time to remark on some moments from his time with the headset, some of the people that he worked with along the way, and his philosophy as a professor at Waynesburg University after his time with the Pirates finished in 2008.Photo credits to Lake Fong of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette2022-01-221h 09
