Was able to add some items to my Pirates collection, these all originate from the Bert Blyleven collection

1. Baseball from Bert’s 4th win for the Pirates in 1979

2. Final out ball from when the Pirates clinched the NLCS championship over the Reds - complete game by Bert Blyleven

3. A large commemorative metal plaque given to the players .
