1960
Having been a Pittsburgh Pirate fan starting at age 5 I watched every year as the Pirates finished 7th or 8th in the National League from 1950 -1957 . My greatest joy was seeing them start to win more games in 1958 all of which culminated in ecstacy when they won the 1960 World Series on Bill Mazeroski's home run --I stayed home from school and watched the game on TV with my Dad, who recognized the importance of this game to me .
