| 1903 | The Pirates, with their doubleheader sweep from the Beaneaters at Exposition Park, go nine games ahead of New York with eight games to play to clinch the National League pennant. In a decision made today, Pittsburgh will represent the National League in the first World Series against the upstart American League, playing Boston, who captured their circuit's flag yesterday. |
| 1992 | At Three Rivers Stadium, Barry Bonds connects his 30th home run of the season off Phillies' right-hander Terry Mulholland in the Pirates' 5-2 victory. The home run gives the Pirates outfielder his second 30/30 season, equaling a feat accomplished only by Bobby Bonds (his father), Willie Mays (his godfather), Howard Johnson, and Ron Gant. |
| 2007 | Greg Maddux breaks Cy Young's major league record by getting his 13th win for the 20th consecutive season. The Padres veteran right-hander's streak of not issuing a base on balls in 59.2 innings ends when Jason Bay walks on a full count in the third inning of a 5-3 victory over the Pirates at Petco Park. |
