I wish the Pirates could make it back to the World Series. 1960, 1971, 1979, those were the glory days.

Kudos to that PIRATES TEAM FOR MAKING US BELIEVE 🤫🤫🤫

Dave Parker , Willie Stargell with Howard Cosell calling it. Great game annd memories.

i grew up in Baltimore and this was 12 days before my tenth birthday. I was heartbroken, crushed, gutted - basically introduced the whole cocktail that is shock/anger/denial and a shot of depression for a chaser. When Baltimore was up 3 games to 1, T-Shirt makers started running off World Champion Orioles shirts. After the Orioles lost, they put an iron-on on the back that said; "almost" I still have that shirt.

I remember seeing the game in a b/w television set in Venezuela, alone, because I was the only one in my family that understood some baseball, beeing recent inmingrants to that country. Since that year baseball is my favorite sport . I returned to Chile 30 years ago but I follow the old ball game every year. Wish MLB begins ASAP and see the 41 year drought end!!!!

So, Chuck Tanner's mother had passed away during the series and yet, Baltimore fans booed not only the Pirates during the introductions but they began with him? Wow, classy. SO happy that the Pirate's won!

at 2:26:34, look to the left side of the screen and you'll see the Pirates catcher beating the shit out of a fan during the celebration.

What a great series that was!!!! Took me all night to stop jumping for joy, after the Pirates came back to win the series!

I was going for Orioles because Bucs edged out my Expos for NL East pennant. Still, that 79 Pirate’s team was one of all time greats.

2 AWESOME uniforms.

What a beautiful presentation with some of the players…

Man the video for this is incredibly clean. Thank you for posting this

2:27:37 I met Grant Jackson and saw that World Series ring. Very cool.

drove in from nyc for game 7 friend was a pirate fan ran out on field after game and somehow worked my way into the clubhouse and joined in the celebration jimmy carter was there eventually got thrown out would love to find some video peace out

Best uniforms in mlb history

Intro, they said it was 38 degrees, It wasn’t even cold, it was warm. It was cold for the first two games. Some people think they have to make things up for the dramatic. As a matter a fact (even though they lost) Baltimore had a parade for the Orioles, and it was unseasonably warm.

was 5 in 1979 great times but inflation was bad like it is today

I am not a fan of either of these teams and yet I still feel this is perhaps the greatest World Series ever played. The gritty funk of the 70s hadn't quite given way to the glossy sheen of the 80s, and indeed the almost garish uniforms worn by these teams would be ditched not long after the 70s ended. Both the Pirates and the Orioles were pillars of baseball at this time too, and they had met in another World Series just eight years earlier that had ended in essentially the same way: a game 7 victory for Pittsburgh in Baltimore. In 1971, Roberto Clemente led the Pirates to victory; in 1979, it was Pops Stargell's turn. Great baseball, great players, great rivals, a unique and memorable era... 1979 had it all.

This was the last time Pittsburgh won the World Series and they haven't had a fresh World Series Championship ever since

Great pitching moves, Earl.

Just like 1968. The Detroit Tigers came back from a three to one deficit.

I hated the hats during that time period. But loved my Bucs!

1:12:48 - The bullpen buggy driver looks like Weird Al Yankovic.

watching this is very bitter sweet for me sweet bacause it's nice to watch the pirates win the world series again bitter because i know they will never ever ever ever ever win another one

just a few more feet on that Eddie Murray 8th inning out. lord, just gimme a few more

Sweet!

Bird was not the word that cold nasty Game 7 night

It’s sad y’all have to post this. It’s also sad we haven’t even had another World Series appearance since this.

Anyone else notice at 2:26:35 the Pirates catcher pounding on some fan on the ground? Be curious what that was about..lol

Does anybody have footage of after the game on the field

Orioles choked. They got beat in '71 , choked in '79.

I was born April 18, 1980, 5 months after this and few months after Steelers 4th SB 15 miles NNE of Pittsburgh. Lived in that small coal mining town 28 years, Curtisville and bleeding black and gold 43. Somehow in Queens past 15 (my wife lol). Edit: just wish that nut would invest in keeping a strong core of buccos together and not be a farm team for top market teams…

Great game toooo many commercials turned it off.

I swear Dempsey played an outlaw in a Clint Eastwood movie

Let's go Bucs!

Broke my 13yr old 🙉 Heart

1:21:46, the Stargell Home Run

I thought it was the yr of the Bird

2 thumbs down from salty baltimore fans no doubt

Yeah the domcerat covid stuff sux.

Pirates and orioles world series 🤣 Kids today only know them both as bottom feeders 🙀

I.saw.it.all
