Description
PITTSBURGH For 18 years, baseball teams have known where to shop for help in the pennant race. The Pittsburgh Pirates have finished each of those seasons with a losing record, and by July, things are usually so hopeless that they trade veterans to contenders. The past two World Series winners have each included two players acquired from Pittsburgh for prospects. [paragraph] "You're happy for them individually, because that's why every one of us does this," said Neal Huntington, the Pirates' general manager. "You love to win." [paragraph] But now it is Pittsburgh, of all teams, that is winning again. Going into Saturday night's game with St. Louis, the Pirates (51-46) were one game out of first in the National League Central. Last Thursday, they were on top, the latest they have led their division since winning it in 1992. [paragraph] The subsequent streak of losing seasons is a record for the four major professional sports in the United States. It has bruised a proud city that has claimed two Super Bowls and a Stanley Cup since the Pirates' last winning season.
