Willie Stargell, Terry Bradshaw and Jim Palmer — three champions from the fall Pittsburgh became the City of Champions. Stargell's Pirates met Palmer's Orioles in the 1979 World Series, while Bradshaw's Steelers, the Pirates' roommates at Three Rivers Stadium, were in the middle of a dynasty of their own. The Orioles led the Series three games to one, but the "We Are Family" Pirates took the last three straight. Pittsburgh won Game 5 at home, 7-1, on the day manager Chuck Tanner's mother died; then John Candelaria outdueled Palmer in Game 6 at Baltimore, 4-0, with Dave Parker's RBI single and a Stargell sacrifice fly breaking a scoreless tie in the seventh. In Game 7 on October 17, Stargell went 4-for-5 and launched a go-ahead two-run homer off Scott McGregor in the sixth, and the Pirates won 4-1 — a Game 7 road win no club matched for 35 years. Stargell hit .400 with three home runs and a Series-record seven extra-base hits, and at 39 he completed a clean sweep of the NLCS, league and World Series MVP awards. Palmer started Games 2 and 6, pitched well in both and won neither — eight years after he and Stargell had faced each other in the 1971 Series, which Pittsburgh also took in seven. Bradshaw bookended it all: Super Bowl MVP in January 1979, Super Bowl MVP again in January 1980, and Sports Illustrated closed the year by naming him and Stargell its co-Sportsmen of the Year. ⚾ Pittsburgh in 1979 — the greatest year one city has ever had in sports? 👇️
