| (Best E Casino) - The Pittsburgh Pirates will try to get back to the .500 mark this evening, as they return to Baltimore for the first time in nearly 29 years to open a three-game interleague set with the Orioles at Camden Yards. Pittsburgh hasn't played in Baltimore since winning Game 7 of the 1979 World Series at Memorial Stadium. Of course, it also clinched the 1971 World Series in Baltimore. These days, though, a World Series title is the furthest thing from the minds of most Pirates fans, who have endured |
