No Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher won more than 14 games and slugger Willie Stargell missed 36 games with injuries in 1979, yet the Bucs caught a wave and rode it to a championship. Using the song "We Are Family" as their theme, they fell behind the Baltimore Orioles in the World Series 3 games to 1, then swept the last three games to win it all. This near mint, slightly stained ONL Feeney ball was signed by 30 members of the team including manager Chuck Tanner (SS), Stargell, Dave Parker, Bill Robinson, Mike Easler, Kent Tekulve, Manny Sanguillen, Bruce Kison, Jim Rooker, John Candelaria, etc. The signatures are in black ink and rate strong 7s and 8s.
