Forget “Enter the Sandman” or Timmy Trumpet. The coolest closer entrance in MLB history is “The Rubberband Man” by The Spinners for #Pittsburgh #Pirates closer Kent Tekulve. 😎 HBD 🎂 3/5/1947 Teke! #LetsGoBucs
A cannon for an arm. A keen batting eye. Lightning-fast hands. Taking a look back at Dave "The Cobra" Parker ahead of his induction into the @baseballhall tomorrow.

OTD 7/26/92 : #Pittsburgh ends #Braves’ win streak at 13, but not without some late inning drama. #Buccos bullpen coughs up the 4-1 lead in B8, but Orlando Merced’s 2-run double plates winning run in 9th! #Pirates 5, ATL 4. #LetsGoBucs 🏴☠️

If you grew up in the 90’s this hits
RIP Ozzy Osbourne
On this date in 2012, Starling Marte makes his Major League debut and homers on the first pitch he sees from Dallas Keuchel in Houston. Marte becomes the third Pittsburgh player to homer in his first AB and the second to homer on the first pitch (also Walter Mueller in 1922).
Dave Parker’s display for induction weekend. I’m so sad he passed before he got to come here for his own induction.
I remember seeing that happen watching on TV. My wife & I nicknamed Bumfield "Crash" after that incident since he caused that horrible collision with Clarke. And Jacob was barely hurt. #Ouch 🤕
OTD 7/25/95 Scary Moment at Three Rivers #Pittsburgh #Pirates Dave Clark broke his left collarbone, badly loosened a tooth and sustained various cuts as he and Jacob Brumfield slammed into each other at full speed while chasing a fly ball. #LetsGoBucs
This is exactly what came to mind after an 11-inning, 1-0 loss where they only managed to get...
Bucs lose, only muster 1 hit
So my theory for Cruz was that he should have gotten out so that he could be the Ghost Runner in the 10th. 1992Pirates Jr said “no, the DBacks should walk him to eliminate that possibility.” Guess he knows ball.
Great thread 🧵 👇
The first MLB game I attended was May 27, 1991 in St. Louis. I was seven years old. Drabek threw a one hitter that day.
One of my favorite all-time Pirates
HBD 🎂 Doug Drabek, 7/25/1962! A true workhorse 🐎 for those late 80s-early 90s #Pittsburgh #Pirates teams! #LetsGoBucs 🏴☠️ Doug Drabek had 10 complete games in 1992, and he didn’t even lead the league! #LetsGoBucs 🏴☠️
An incredible tribute wall for The 🐍 tonight at PNC Park. #HOFWKND #LetsGoBucs
Kicking off a weekend-long celebration of Dave Parker’s Hall of Fame career with a throwback to his early days on the diamond 🙌
HBD 🎂 Doug Drabek!
I remember the sign ‘Victorious Drabek’ in the stadium. Paying homage to his home of Victoria, Texas.
#OTD 1959, Castro supporters halt I’national Lg game b/n Rochester & Havana #SugarKings w/ gunshots from grandstand. A coach & player suffer minor flesh wounds. Havana cancels homestand & eventually relocates to Newark for ‘60 season. This ‘57 #Topps card shows Havana’s ballpark.
