That 2013 season such a memorable season. They had a 2-1 lead against the cardinals in the NLDS and should’ve won it but man this game right here is my favorite Pittsburgh sports moment. Amazing
@@Dylan-nq9yg yeah it sucks they didn’t win against the cardinals. It was so close🤦♂️. Out of all the Stanley cups and super bowls Pittsburgh has. This is still my favorite Pittsburgh moment it was something special.
@@vjlong4581 it sucks so bad because unironically the pirates are our best brand in my opinion they are genuinely such a perfect baseball brand with such a great ballpark that its so disappointing that we suck
Not. I'm a baseball fan, but nutting has no business running a major league club. He needs to stick to his hotels and mountain resorts. This is just a cash grab for Bob.
@@frankym69 I worked at one of his mountain resorts for 10 years and he doesn't give two F's about his employees. He is not a good person. My wife worked at same resort and has said that his Dad was very nice but Bob Nuttbag was an ass. If you can don't go to 7springs
Bob Nutting - "We will start spending more on a team when fans show up"... notice how insanely electric that crowd was whenever we had a team who even had a SLIVER of a chance to win it all.
I remember being at this game. It was the loudest baseball crowd I have ever heard and I won’t even forget how loud everyone got when he dropped that ball on the mound.
Oh have the times changed here. This game really brought the city together. I love this team no matter the heartbreak but we need baseball back in the Burgh
As a die hard Yankees fan I was rooting for the Pirates to win that year. Such a fun exciting team and haven’t made the playoffs before then since 1992. True Cinderella story team!
Thanks for the kind words. It means a lot coming from a fan that's used to consistently winning. I honestly think that if the Pirates beat the Cardinals they very well could've gone to the World Series. They were incredible that year, but St. Louis always seems to be our kryptonite
I’ve been to Steelers playoff games and Penguins Stanley cup finals games, but nothing has come close to the atmosphere of this Wildcard game. What a night.
The reason nut job needs to keep our team together… this years team is great to keep growing with. I know we could lose some but the way he is, 5 years only Bryan will be here 😢 god I hope not cause looks so damn promising… I’m 43, black n gold my entire life. Miss home, the sticks of north eastern Allegheny county. I’ve been living in Queens past 15 years. Need to see a game at Citi field. Take bud or subway. 15-20 minutes, not far from me.
@@Battlefield_Master5430 sorry I just seen this comment but yeah I miss garret cole and polonco and josh Harrison and Marte I loved this team that made the playoffs from like 2013-15
A Pirates Reds Wildcard game? A packed, raucous almost stupefied and spellbound PNC Park. Two dingers for Russell Martin. Shimmy Cueto dropping the ball while being serenaded. A slashing Tony Gwynn-esque oppo single in the shortstop hole by Jay Bruce. A homer from Marlon Byrd? (who was traded by the Mets on Marlon Byrd T-shirt night). Immortal Pirate First Baseman Justin Morneau celebrating the W. Just a simple Yankees fan, video came up in my feed a decade later, totally forgot this game existed . I watched it and smiled to myself that this game actually happened cause it seems to have been created in the laboratory of a mad scientist exclusively for the pleasure of diehard Pirates fans.
This was pure magic. Magic was in the air in my entire town, im about an hour and a half north of the burgh. It was something fans of my age had no seen or experienced and it was electric. Feels like it was forever ago. This will always bring a tear to the eyes.
Holy shit these moments still give me chills. It feels so weird to see over 40k people at pnc. Ever since then, it’s been a constant downward spiral of ass😂one day we’ll get to see this again….I hope
i prefer watching the steelers or the penguins over the pirates because im not the biggest fan of baseball, but man that was the best pirates game that i've ever seen in my life, it would be really awesome if the pirates were good again
This game used to make me happy. Now it pisses me off. This was the single best game since 1979. And nothing else has come close. Cherington has a lot of work to do to even make the Pirates a Wild Card team again. I’m 41 now and I don’t know if the Pirates will ever be in the playoffs again.
They have a lot of exciting prospects that will debut in the next couple years, I’d say 2023 they’ll be good again. This year will be a stepping stone but once they get the prospects up, Gonzalez, Lioner, Kranick, Cruz, Castro, Chandler, Davis, Preister, etc, they will be great again..
Man I remember watching this series as a teenager mind you im a Yankees fan but man was it so nice to watch the Buccos and fans get hyped and passionate....cueto got trolled so much that night.
@@EssexAggiegrad2011 u 2 have no idea how much I envy your baseball teams operations like it gets me so jealous of the way your teams stay competitive, and Boston as a city im jealous all the way around like every 1 of your teams have won a championship recently and God how I hated the way #12 destroys the steelers but as long as Bill is still there I don't think we'll ever get the best of the patriots
Nothing like that had really been done before. I remember that they were interviewing Russell Martin after the game and they asked him about the hockey style Cueto chant (since Russ is from Canada) and he said he's never heard anything like it. Like who the hell thought that a goalie chant in the middle of a baseball game would work, but it did!
I’m only 17 and I’m a pirates fan. I will always remember that season because it’s the best I’ve seen the pirates😭. And their only good season since I’ve been alive(except for the few seasons after) hopefully I will get to see them eventually win the World Series. And hopefully they will get back to being how they were in the 70’s 😂
Same bruh the made the playoffs another 2 seasons in 2014 and 2015 that’s the glory years for us hopefully we’ll be good in a couple years I heard we had a good draft
I miss this. By far my favorite pirates game to ever watch and enjoy. Maybe, just maybe with new pitchers this year… the Bucs will actually have a chance for the postseason in 2024… I hope 🤞 🖤💛🖤💛
Look at the construction of that team. A mix of veterans and young guys, a star McCutchen and solid bullpen and starting rotation. We have the base there just need a real SP free agent and Skenes and we'll be close
Absolutely criminal that the next two years the Pirates had even better teams and both seasons came down to ONE game. They were the SECOND BEST team in baseball in 2015 and the Cubs just got to put out their ace and that was it. The MLB wild-card game is the most broken thing in any sport EVER.
I remember in 1992, being really upset. cause the pirates lost the series against the braves. it happened 2 days before my birthday in octobbr. I was 8 turning 9. to see this game, 21 years later...i was 29 turning 30 and the win happened 15 days before my birthday. my inner kid was happy
I'm a Reds fan. I wasn't happy that we lost. But if there's a team we're going to lose to, I'd rather it be the Pirates and not the fricking Cardinals or something. Lol. Baseball fans in Pittsburgh have suffered for a long time, including most of my family who are Pirate fans. Just like the Reds, your team is bogged and hindered by cheap and ineffective ownership. I have to admit it was good seeing you guys have that string of success. Plus Pirate fans are good people. I've always been treated with respect attending games at PNC Park.
Shame they didn’t beat the cards cause that’s the best all around team I’d grown up seeing. That 3 year period was great, shame the teams too cheap to not bring players in.... 2035 next year for a decent team??
I mean we’re about to so... does that count considering the pirates are gonna be terrible if there is a season this year and the reds could get a playoff spot
For what it's worth, this might as well have been Game 7 of the World Series for me.
it was for a lot of people in the city, never felt energy like that before a game in my life.

Seems like a millions years ago. I’ll be a Pirates fan forever. Let’s hope they rebuild right this time and sign their top prospects.
Facts
Hopefully Ke’Bryan Hayes and Collin Moran back will help

I was across the street at Mcfaddens and you could here the chants echoing throughout the city. It was incredible

A couple years hopefully

Ty that is a cool statement coming from a team accustomed to winning titles. Interesting hearing outside opinions
As a Red Sox fan I was doing the same
We should have beat the cards that year...

I watched the highlights of this game on CZcams. I remember it like yesterday. What a magical time to be alive!
I know you're all here for 1:05

yeah it is kinda bs. Completely takes depth out of the equation. Simply is their #1 better than your #1 and if so they are the better team apparently
As an A’s fan I can agree with u bro 😭😭😭
And not to mention ESPN was fuckin slobbering over Arrieta ALL game long.
I was there.. They opened the gates an hour early and the rotunda was full in 5 minutes.... The Reds knew they were toast..
I remember in 1992, being really upset. cause the pirates lost the series against the braves. it happened 2 days before my birthday in octobbr. I was 8 turning 9.
to see this game, 21 years later...i was 29 turning 30 and the win happened 15 days before my birthday. my inner kid was happy
i just wanna see this energy at pnc again
Hopefully it’s this year!
One day we will be back. Pirates fans deserve a winner. Hopefully before McCutchen retires but it seems unlikely. A man can dream
Not until they sell the team. Depending on your age, you might be dead by the time that happens.
This is sad for me this this was the glory years for me

AS great as this game was for the Pirates it's a shame to see how it's still the team's best night since this point and it's the wild card
I miss this 😢
I miss the good pirates
I don’t even know why I’m here. I’m a reds fan
Great game
It’s sick seeing the pirates in the playoffs. Idk the stadium is sick and it’s a shame it’s empty most of the time.
THE TRUE PIRATES FANS
Shame they didn’t beat the cards cause that’s the best all around team I’d grown up seeing. That 3 year period was great, shame the teams too cheap to not bring players in.... 2035 next year for a decent team??
The things I would do man.
Now the place is like a ghost town, pirate fans are so fair weather fans, its one thing to not go cause of the owner, GM, mgr but go for the team.
It’s absolutely right to not go to the stadium for the ownership
Look at that place go crazy!!! Don't u think if we put money into the team we would see these crowds sooner than later?
😢😢😢
CUETO! CUETO! CUETO! 😆😆😆
The CROWD looks like Dominicans
🙂🙂🙂
I don’t get how this our ownership can put out a team like this when they see what happens when we play good I mean we show up
You pirates fans still celebrate a wild card game 7 years later... kinda pathetic, go reds
Eclipse _ yeah it’s sad but the reds haven’t done anything since then lmao
I mean we’re about to so... does that count considering the pirates are gonna be terrible if there is a season this year and the reds could get a playoff spot
and the Cincinnati fans celebrate all the bare fingers from the Bengals..hot garbage...
NASA satellite _ ya how the reds going rn?
@@mattw6964 Pretty good, about to make the playoffs:0
