If you're a kid just starting to follow the game, try to find a Pirates media guide (or one from any team) this spring. The volume of minutiae is staggering.
In the 380-page Pittsburgh book, we learn the following:
Pittsburgh has not had a player lead the NL in home runs since Willie Stargell in 1973.
Outfielder-first baseman Steve Pearce played for the Cotuit Kettlers of the Cape Cod League in 2004.
Pitching prospect Dave Davidson played hockey growing up in St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada.
The Pirates were outscored by the Yankees 55-27 in the 1960 World Series, yet still won in seven games.
Hey, this is mine. Get your own.
