The 50 Greatest Pittsburgh Pirates not only brings to life the greatest players in the history of the National League franchise, but relives many of the greatest moments in team history. From Hall of Famer Bill Mazeroski's game-winning home run in the seventh game of the 1960 World Series - perhaps the most significant home run hit in baseball history - to pitchers' no-hitters, swingers' clutch swats, and other memorable moments in Pirate annals, a review of the best players who have worn the Pittsburgh uniform vividly brings forth key accomplishments in more than a century's worth of club play. Offered are up-close-and-personal looks at the most famous players in team history, accompanied by facts detailing what they accomplished and what they were thinking when they achieved their greatest moments, capturing batting titles, winning 20 games, or setting team records for the lowest earning run average or the most home runs.

During his 15-season Major League career, slugger Johnny Mize was among the preeminent power hitters in baseball, a star for the St. Louis Cardinals and the New York Giants, and a clutch player for the New York Yankees when they won five straight World Series in the late 1940s and early 1950s. Raised in rural Georgia, Mize caught the tail end of the Cardinals' Gas House Gang era and had his career interrupted by World War II before achieving greatness at the plate. An MVP, perennial All-Star and four-time National League home-run champion, he made a science of batting and wrote a book on it (How to Hit, 1953). This first full-length biography traces the arc of Mize's career through his prime years in the limelight to his retirement, when renewed interest in his legacy saw him inducted into the Hall of Fame.
