Tim Wakefield became a legend.
Down 2-0 in the NLCS, #Pirates beat #Braves 3-2 in Game 3 at Three Rivers.
The rookie Wakefield (CG 5h 2er 1bb 3k) was masterful. #Pittsburgh’s Don Slaught struck 1st w/a game-tying solo HR.

@1992pirates.bsky.socialHBD 🎂 10/9/1963 former #Pittsburgh #Pirates SS Felix Fermin!
Felix played for the #Buccos from 1987-88, hitting .265 in 66 games.
Fermin was traded as a PBTNL to Cleveland along with Denny Gonzalez for a PBTNL, which became longtime PIT SS Jay Bell.

@stevegiglio.bsky.socialWatching Bednar throw gas in the postseason is an uncomfortable reminder that the Pirates caved to fan pressure and gave up on him, n’at. #LetsGoBucs
@1992pirates.bsky.socialThe 1979 #Pittsburgh #Pirates dugout said it all.
@anthrocon.orgOur good friend Anthrocat surprised some of our friends at the @pirates.com .com with a birthday appearance! Maybe we'll get to throw an opening pitch for them next year 💛😼⚾️🖤 #Letsgobucs
@1992pirates.bsky.socialHBD 🎂 (10/6/1959) #Pittsburgh #Pirates farmhand Dennis “Oil Can” Boyd!
The #Buccos signed the injured Boyd in April of 1992 to a minor league contract.
His only appearance was 4 scoreless innings in a 5/11 exhibition between the Bucs & their AA Carolina Mudcats.
@jk4pghpa.bsky.socialThe Penguins have Sidney Crosby. The Pirates have Paul Skenes. Pitt Volleyball has Olivia Babcock for one more season. Pittsburgh is very lucky right now in seeing the best players in their Sports in their Hometown. #H2P #LetsGoBucs #LetsGoPens
