The Pittsburgh Pirates joined professional baseball in 1887, under the name of the Pittsburgh Alleghenys. The original name was derived from Allegheny River which connects with the Monongahela River in Pittsburgh to form the Ohio River. The name changed to the "Pirates" in 1890 after the team snagged Phillies' 2nd baseman Louis Bierbauer. Despite this act of piracy, the team continued to struggle in the regular season, finishing in last place. The following two seasons showed significant improvement after the team finished within five games of the National League pennant. Led by Hall of Fame shortstop Honus Wagner, the Pirates finally bring home a National League Championship in 1901 and end up winning three titles in a row from 1901-1903. In 1909, several years after the combination of the National and American Leagues, the Pittsburgh Pirates win their first World Championship with the help of, relatively unknown pitcher, Babe Adams' clutch performance in the World
Series. The Pirates have battled for contention for the majority of the past century and have only had a few bad seasons, being lucky enough to utilize the abilities of 35 Hall-of-Famers including outfielder Roberto Clemente, first baseman Willie Stargell, and slugger Barry Bonds. The Pirates play in recently built PNC Park in Pittsburgh and have played there since 2001. The Pittsburgh Pirates' overall franchise accomplishments include five World Championships in seven World Series Appearances, nine National League pennants, and eight division titles.
