Drawing inspiration from the Sister Sledge song “We Are Family”, the 1979 Pittsburgh Pirates won the National League by winning the East Division with a 98-64 record and sweeping the Cincinnati Reds in the NLCS. After falling behind 3-1 in the World Series to the Baltimore Orioles, Hall of Famer Willie Stargell led the comeback as the Pirates defeated the Orioles in seven games. Stargell became the oldest player (age 39) to win a World Series MVP.
