The World Series of 1979 was between the Pittsburgh Pirates against the Baltimore Orioles. The Pirates coming back 3 games to one deficit to win the series in seven games. Pirates are famous for adopting the Sisters Sledges hit anthem “We are Family” as the theme song. In the Series it was the American Leagues turn to play National League rules. The 1970's was the best decade because Reggie Jackson hit three homeruns with three swings of the bat in the same game. He is the only player to do that. The New York Yankees are my favorite team.
