Dave Parker making the Hall of Fame is a good Pirates moment no one said.
I'm hoping some good history moments in 2025 revolve around celebrating the 100th anniversary of the 1925 World Series champs BUT I have not heard good things from the couple people I talked to about it who have some pull in deciding what goes on. They won't get another chance for a 100th anniversary championship celebration for 35 years, so why waste the chance. If I'm reading between the lines correctly, we might see Babe Adams go in the team HOF and then not much else 1925 related. Maybe one day for recognizing the team. Of course, if people would just complain enough, maybe they will do more...
It is easily the least talked about World Series title for the Pirates, yet they had to beat the best pitcher in baseball history to win the final game, so that alone should be something that is brought up all of the time. It's crazy that the 1903 series gets more mentions in Pittsburgh because it's the first series and the 1927 series is still talked about because of Murderer's Row, so they are better known in Pittsburgh than an actual title series.
The question has to be asked. If you're not going to highlight the 1925 series in 2025, when are you ever going to do it?
There should be a "documentary" about the 1925 team to educate the public and enhance the history of the organization. It should be released sometime before a big weekend celebration with the players wearing the 1925 uniform. The Pirates would be stupid not to do it.

The deciding game in 1925 was one of the most dramatic game sevens ever, yet it seems to have no place in Pirate lore.
But, hey, Nuttin has spent his whole tenure wrecking the brand. Why try to restore it now?
