Gimme the following:
Stargell in LF (because I didn't use him at 1B on the infield one a few weeks ago, so he's still available here)
McCutchen in CF (because that's the prime, MVP Cutch who was also a Gold Glove centerfielder)
Clemente in RF (because you can't pass up The Great One)
Stargell in LF (because I didn't use him at 1B on the infield one a few weeks ago, so he's still available here)

If you were in the hinterlands of Western and Central PA, West Virginia, or eastern Ohio, nothing said “spring is coming” like a visit from your favorite Bucco 🏴☠️ players on the #Pittsburgh #Pirates winter caravan.

Ed Ott was awesome. Saw a game in Houston when Larry Andersen threw at Spike Owen's head. Benches cleared and Ed was a coach for the Astros at the time. With his wrestling background, he came out and just started throwing Expos off the pile. It ended quickly. As a big Buccos fan I loved seeing it.

Manny is my favorite. No ball was out of his strike zone.
How about some love for Ed Ott the backup catcher for the ‘70s Buccos.

Joe Garagiola once said:
“The catcher is a groundhog. He's a guy squatting down, digging for the ball in the dirt, and sweating under a pile of uncomfortable protective gear while his knees creak.”
