It's now more than 45 years since the Pirates won a World Series and that ignominious streak doesn't look like it will end anytime soon as long as Bob Spend Nutting Win Nutting is the owner.
So looking back to the Pirates glory days of the '70s when they won two World Series led by future hall of famers in the twilight of their careers, how would they have fared against one another in a seven-game series?
In a battle of World Series champions: Pittsburgh Pirates 1971 vs Pittsburgh Pirates 1979, who do you think would have won a seven-game series?

I can’t exaggerate how important it seemed to have Danny Murtaugh in the dugout
As much as I love The Family, I have to go with the’71 squad. They were the better team in my opinion.
