Logo of major league baseball’s Pittsburgh Pirates that was used from 1960 until 1967. Unlike today, the Pirates were one of the top teams in the National League in this era, and won a World Series title in dramatic fashion in the first year this logo was used, in 1960. Despite losing games to the New York Yankees in the series by scores of 16-3, 10-0 and 12-0, the Bucs managed to force the Series to a seventh game, and won 10-9 on a walk-off home run by Bill Mazeroski in the bottom of the 9th inning. The Pirates were loaded with talented players in this era, including Mazeroski, Roberto Clemente, Elroy Face, Dick Groat, Willie Stargell and Bill Virdon.
