When Clint Got The Pirates Over The Hurdle: #13 Helps

When Clint Got The Pirates Over The Hurdle: #13 Helps Pittsburgh Raise the Jolly Roger in Buctober, 2013

No event in Pittsburgh sports history can match the fervor of the Pirates' fans in that 2013 NL wild card game against the Reds that ended the Buccos postseason drought, as aficionados cheered constantly from the pre-game moments until the last pitch. Observes actually maintain that not even the Immaculate Reception game, the World Series games nor the Stanley Cup games come close. Many have said that fans got rid of 20 years of frustration and replaced it with 20 years worth of joy that night. This book celebrates that joy, chronicling the many great events and experiences that occurred during the 20 years when the Pirates couldn't get over the hurdle of being losers, setting the all-time record for consecutive losing seasons for a North American sports franchise. It serves as a history of the Pittsburgh Pirates from 1993-2013 with unique stories, statistics and summaries from each season. It includes many stories of personal interactions with many players, team officials, media people and others. The book also includes chapters based on interviews with Jay Bell, Jack Wilson, Andrew McCutchen and Clint Hurdle. This book celebrates the Pirates return to their winning ways. Clint finally got the Pirates over the hurdle in 2013 and this book highlights the journey of a group of fans during the ups and downs of this 20-year period. As Clint Hurdle once declared,"The Israelites spent 40 years in the wilderness. So Pirate fans haven't suffered anything in comparison." This book stands not only as a book about optimism as a fan but about positive thinking in general.
