Description: The 2013 Pittsburgh Pirates are likely to advance to the postseason for the first time in 20 years. Loyal fans who stood by their team through two decades of losing seasons, including late-season collapses in 2011 and 2012, finally have reason to celebrate. Leading the National League Central throughout the 2013 season, the Pirates are a virtual lock for the playoffs, meaning fans can watch manager Clint Hurdle lead Andrew McCutchen, a recovered Jason Grilli, Garrett Jones, and the rest of the Bucs in a chase to the World Series. Celebrate the team's amazing season in this full-color pictorial.
