It’s easy to love the Yankees for their pinstripes, it’s convenient to root for the Red Sox for their Green Monster, and it’s typical to admire the Mariners. But some teams are harder to love--they’re teams that put fans through the wringer, that give them all the highs and lows of Major League Baseball, that break their hearts but still keep them hoping. The Pittsburgh Pirates are one such team.

Although the Pirates have been in a slump the last few years, that’s no reason not to brush up on your Bucs knowledge--you know, for the moment when they make it into the playoffs (it’ll be soon, we’re sure).Β 

Whether you’re a Pittsburgh yinzer who wants to make sure you’re a hometown hero or just an MLB junkie looking to test your knowledge, these Pirates trivia questions and answers are for you.
