I remember as a kid watching Chuck Tanner manage the Pirates to a World Series championship in 1979. That Pittsburgh TV station (WKDA, maybe?) was one of the only channels that showed baseball games. I will never forget Chuck or the great Pirates team of 1979. I heard yesterday that Chuck's mother died after the fourth game of that World Series. The Pirates were behind at that point 3 games to 1. Chuck stayed with the team and they won the next three games. No doubt the team "was playing for Chuck" for those three games.
