In this episode Mad Dog is digging up the story of one of the greatest baseball teams to never win the world series, the 1991 Pittsburgh Pirates. Led by Barry Bonds, Bobby Bonilla, Andy Van Slyke and Doug Drabek, the Pirates were one of best teams in the early 90s going to three straight National League Championship Series. During that stretch, their '91 team was their best, winning 98 games. The Pirates had vicious lineup of power and speed, but in the '91 NLCS they faced off against an Atlanta Braves squad that was able to match them with dominant pitching. The manager for the '91 Pirates was Jim Leyland and he joins Christopher to provide more insight on that season for Pittsburgh (26:30)
