==Season 6==
The Pittsburgh Pirates were chosen again in Season 6 by coach jyknight. The Pirates did not have a very good start to the season, losing their first four games. They were able to turn it around the rest of the way, going 6-4 over their last 10 games for a 6-8 final record.
Perhaps the best moment of the Pirates' regular season came in a simul-streamed game against the Indians. After finishing their side of the match, the Indians just needed to shut down the Pirates in the 6th inning for the win. But the AI Kimmy Eckman hit a home run in the bottom of the 6th which was a de facto "walk-off" in terms of the run differential. 
The Pirates didn't qualify for the playoffs, but they did join the BBL Consolation Tournament. They cruised all the way to the championship in the winner's bracket section of the double elimination tournament, beating the Cubs, Rockies, Melonheads, and Cardinals along the way. However, the Cardinals came back to face them in the championship, and the Pirates were knocked off twice, by low scores of 2-1 and 1-1 on a tiebreaker going to the Cardinals.

== Season 8 ==
In Season 8, coach hitace planned to play as the Yankees, but he hired BBL veteran Kiiiiiiiiiiiiis to draft for him. After seeing the team constructed for him, hitace resigned from playing in Season 8. BBL rookie QuestionMonkey, who joined the server just after Season 8 signups had closed, volunteered to take his place. He made a few roster adjustments and renamed the team the Baltimore Pirates. The team was in the American League Central, with a home field of Steele Stadium. 
The Pirates' season started off with a bang, as Carlos Delgado threw a perfect game and they beat the Devil Rays 9 - (-3). However, the Pirates' season got a little rocky after that, and they finished with a 6-8 record, out of playoff contention.
The Pirates accepted a bid to the Consolation Tournament, where they were swept by the Orioles 2-0 in a best-of-3 series.

=== 2003 ===
On the 2003 side of Season 10, the Pirates were taken by coach shrewsbury91. The Pirates played in the Backyard League East at the home field of The Paveway. The Pirates got off to a tough start at 1-3, but they turned it on in the second half of the season and captured the second BL Wild Card at a record of 8-6. 
In the regular season, Jerry Winchell put on an impressive display on the mound, which earned him the Backyard League Ace Wilson Award.
Another outstanding member of the Pirates was Olga Tollefson, who began the season reaching base safely 23 times in a row before first making an out. She ended up leading the Backyard League in batting average at 0.846.
In the playoffs, the Pirates faced the top seeded White Sox and took a surprising game one win after an extra innings rally. Unfortunately, in the next two games, the Pirates were stymied by the White Sox's defense and dropped the next two games, losing the series.

Coach QuestionMonkey returned for his fourth season at the helm of the Pirates, this time moving them to Anaheim. This season, they played at Playground Commons in the AL Central. 
The Pirates fell to 1-4 after the first five games, leaving their playoff hopes in doubt. But something lit a fire under the Pirates, and they only lost 2 games the rest of the way, finishing 8-6, tied with the Astros for the AL Central lead. 
The Pirates and Astros were also stuck in an 8-6 tie with the Fishes and Marlins with the AL Central title and two wild cards to be decided. In an rBBL first, there was a four-way tiebreaker. The Pirates and Astros would play for the AL Central title, while the loser would play the loser of Fishes-Marlins for the final AL playoff spot. The Pirates beat the Astros in the tiebreaker game 7-5 to clinch the AL Central.
As the #3 seed, the Pirates would have to play in the first round, where they faced off against the #6 seed Marlins. The Pirates made their mark in the first game, taking down the Marlins 15-1. But once the series shifted to the Marlins' home field of Dirt Yards, everything changed. The Marlins eviscerated the Pirates defense in Game 2, winning 34-15. The decisive Game 3 was the closest of the series, but it ended in an 11-8 win for the Marlins, thus ending the Pirates' season.

== Season 12 ==
=== 2001 ===
The Pirates were selected in 2001 and 2003 in Season 12. For 2001, coach Crazyei8hts named the team the Crazy Pirates. The team played in the NL Central and had a home field of Parks Dept. Field #2. The team had some of the best offense in the league, leading 2001 in home runs, total bases, slugging percentage, and OPS. They were also second overall in runs batted in and runs scored for the 2001 season. All told, the team finished 11-3, winning the NL Central title and reaching the second seed in the playoffs over the Expos.
After taking a bye, the Pirates opened the playoffs against the Expos. The Pirates proved their worth of the 2 seed, sweeping the Expos 34-16 and 17-6. However, it was a different story when the Pirates came to play the reigning champion Marlins. In a battle of offensive strategies, the Marlins were in control the whole way, and the Pirates lost in two games, 35-28 and 15-11, putting an end to an exciting season, but not before Sammy Sosa was awarded MVP in the National League thanks to a league-leading 67 RBIs.
=== 2003 ===
QuestionMonkey also returned to coach the Pirates, who were now located in Baltimore. The team played on Dubois Diamond and were in the FL East. A combination of amazingly potent power in Ken Griffey Jr. and the Khans Achmed and Amir, combined with a surprisingly effective AI defense and a well-renowned defensive field, put the Pirates on the map, and they cruised to an undefeated regular season of 14-0. The closest they came to defeat was a one-run margin of victory over the Braves.
In the playoffs, the Pirates were the top seed in the Frontyard League. After their bye, the team faced off against the Braves. After winning Game 1 with a score of 13-2, the team had trouble again in Tin Can Alley, which led to the team's first loss, 13-6. Despite this, they won Game 3, 16-2, and moved on.
In the FLCS, the Pirates' opponent was the Dodgers, who defeated them in Game 1 by 15-12. With the pressure mounting on the Pirates, the team rallied back with scores of 15-3 and 31-26 to enter the World Series.
As fate would have it, the Pirates met up with the Bombers in the World Series. The matchup was hyped up all over social platforms, and for good reason. Aside from the fact that the underdog was taking on the formerly unstoppable team, the series was wildly unpredictable. It was also low-scoring, much to the surprise of many spectators. In Game 1, the Bombers struck first, 10-7. The Pirates answered in return for Game 2, winning 11-6. Game 3 again was in the Bombers' favor, with that team winning 8-3. With their backs against the wall, the Pirates pushed on to win Game 4 9-5 to force a decisive and absolute Game 5. With all the marbles on the line, the Bombers held on in Game 5 to win by a score of 7-2. After an absolute showstopper, the Bombers had shockingly knocked off the Pirates and won the World Series. The expectations for the Pirates were high, and the team was so close to achieving victory, but a dramatic ending destroyed their hopes.
