The Pittsburgh Pirates have a rich history of families playing for the franchise over the years. It starts at the the top with the best brother combo in baseball history, consisting of Hall of Famers Paul and Lloyd Waner. Any good Pirates fan has heard about them, but did you know that there was almost another Waner on the Pirates? This book is filled with interesting stories throughout the years, from a pair of brothers spending one day with the team, to a pair of twins getting signed at the same time.
The family relations cover everything, from father-son combos, brothers, cousins, uncle/nephew and two groups that include three players. The players who make up the 27 families listed here range from players who put in one day with the team, up to Ralph Kiner and the aforementioned Waner brothers. You have World Series winners, a Cy Young winner, two 25-game winners and a pitching prospect who ended up facing three batters during his career.
Each player's path to the Pirates is detailed, along with a summary of his time in Pittsburgh, followed by a look at what makes each family unique. It's capped off by a look at players who didn't play for the Pirates, but they came close. It's only fitting that there's a family book for the franchise that won their last title playing We Are Family.
