Having been a Hollywood Stars fan growing up in California (before the teams moved West ) I was also a Pirates fan during all the bad years --but in 1960 my father took the day off work and let me stay home from school to watch game 7 of the World Series with him. I will never forget the father/son special relationship that day -topped off by Maz's homerun--Baseball does not get any better than that! (My only regret was that Dale Long( my Hollywood hero) was playing for the Yankees and not the Pirates)
