1984 KDKA "Pirate Party '84" WIth Bob Prince

[HIGHSCHOOLHOP]

Bob Prince was the greatest Pirate announcer of all time. I sure wished I had had the opportunity to meet him. I remember listening to him on my transistor radio and seeing him sitting in the KDKA booth at Forbes Field.

My life was better for the Gunner being alive.

RIP Gunner.

That's WPXI's Jodine Costanzo as a Pirette ball girl.

Great find!! I never got to see this when it aired the first time around, I assume this was before the Bucs '84 opener against SD (which they lost 5-1, thank you media guide) Who knew this would be the start of the Padres pennant-winning season? And also the start of the Pirate decline that they didn't get out of until '88 thanks to Jim, Andy,and Barry. In fairness though, the decline began the minute the ink dried on Dave Parkers contract with the Reds that offseason. LETS GO BUCS!
