Ring in the New Year with author, Dale Perelman and tales of baseball's legendary Chuck Tanner plus Barbecue Renaissance Man, Ray Blazick and not one, but two huge rants Dale Perelman is a prolific writer who lives in New Castle, Pennsylvania, the same town which a legendary baseball lifer lived, loved, and called home. Dale's latest book, Chuck Tanner and the Pittsburgh Pirates is all about his town's famous resident who spent a career in baseball both as a player and manager. He lead the Pittsburgh Pirates from 1977 to 1985 and helped capture the 1979 World Series. Tanner was key in developing the relief pitcher through his work with Goose Gossage and he played a role in the careers of numerous players such as Willie Stargell, Dave Parker and more. Through extensive research and interviews, author Dale Perelman presents the life and career of Chuck Tanner. Ray Blazick is a lover of barbecue and has been perfecting his craft while sharing his barbecue strategies. He works to make his barbecue interesting, but still accessible for beginners. He approaches BBQ and cooking with an emphasis on family-friendly ways to eat healthy together. When he is not cooking BBQ he is exploring the best BBQ locations in America.

Wednesday October 17th, 1979 @ Memorial Stadium in Baltimore, MD It all comes down to this. Game Seven. Chuck Tanner's Terrors have forced a winner-take-all battle against the Earl of Baltimore and his Birds. These Pirates, who call themselves the ‘Family', have rallied from a 3-1 deficit, besting two of the Orioles' aces, Mike Flanagan and Jim Palmer. Can they make it three in a row? Standing in their way will be one of the breakout stars of this postseason for Baltimore, 25 year old Scott McGregor (13 - 6 3.35 ERA 174 IP). The crafty lefty has been sensational in these playoffs, going the distance in both of his starts. He'll need to be on his game if he intends to quiet this high-powered Pittsburgh offense. Starting tonight on short rest for the Buccos will be big Jim Bibby (12 - 4 2.81 ERA 137 IP), who has been strong in his two postseason starts thus far. It will be all hands on deck aboard Chuck Tanner's Pirate ship, and when it gets down to the late innings, they will look for their Captain, Willie ‘Pops' Stargell, to lead the way. Tune in to the thrilling conclusion to one of the best World Series in baseball history. It will be a fitting send off to an outstanding decade for the sport. Audio clips from joeydbball Youtube.

Tuesday October 16th, 1979 @ Memorial Stadium in Baltimore, MD The Pirates were able to rally around their heartbroken manager and stave off elimination in game five behind huge performances from Tim Foli, Bill Madlock, Bert Blyleven, and unexpectedly Jim Rooker. The series now heads back to Baltimore, with the odds still against Chuck Tanner's Terrors. To try and close out this series for the Orioles, manager Earl Weaver turns to one of his most dependable starters, Jim Palmer (10 - 6 3.30 ERA 155 IP). The tall, handsome right-hander, whom many would argue is one of, if not the best pitchers of his generation, was solid in game two, but the O's took the loss in the ninth despite his efforts. Taking the hill on short rest for the Pirates will be John Candelaria (14 - 9 3.22 ERA 207 IP). The tall and … tall lefty has battled injuries all year, and he was pummeled by the Orioles bats following the rain delay in game three. Despite those struggles, the Pirates know their lefty has the talent to deliver a gem any time he toes the rubber. Given the desperate circumstances, expect Chuck Tanner to turn to his ace reliever, Kent Tekulve (10 - 8 2.75 ERA 31 SV 134 ?IP). The lanky sidewinder is looking for redemption after a nightmare of an outing in game four. Can the Buccos keep their season alive for another day, or will the Birds seal the deal at home.

Sunday October 14th, 1979 @ Three Rivers Stadium Pittsburgh, PA On the verge of elimination, the Pittsburgh Pirates have just received heartbreaking news; manager Chuck Tanner's mother passed away. It is undoubtedly a blow to 'the Family', but perhaps the grief may serve as a rallying cry. The Buccos will need to stay together if they want to do what just three teams have done in World Series history (as of 1979); come back from a 3 - 1 deficit. And do they have a tall task ahead of them. Taking the mound for Earl Weaver's Orioles is the Cy Young of the AL, Mike Flanagan (23 - 9 3.08 ERA 265 IP). The lefty ace went the distance in game one, but he did have to labor through the final innings, providing the Pirates bats plenty of looks at the lefty. To counter, Chuck Tanner turns to veteran lefty Jim Rooker (4 - 7 4.60 ERA 103 IP), a curious decision with the season on the line. Rooker was injured for most of the season, but he was brilliant out of the bullpen in game one. The Pirates will need more of that from the lefty if they hope to quiet the potent Baltimore offense. Even if Pittsburgh can stave off elimination in this game, the road ahead does not look promising, with Jim Palmer and Scott McGregor waiting to greet them if the series goes back to Baltimore. That being said, never tell these guys the odds. Audio clips from joeydbball Youtube. ABC Broadcast w/ Al Michaels, Howard Cosell, and Don Drysdale. Pregame by Vin Scully.

Saturday October 13th, 1979 @ Three Rivers Stadium in Pittsburgh, PA Not even twelve hours after Scott McGregor finished off a complete game victory following a rain delay, the Orioles and Pirates are back at it in a pivotal game four. Earl Weaver's squad has the advantage, and their bats came alive in game three. Big Jim Bibby (12 - 4 2.81 ERA 137 IP) takes the hill for Chuck Tanner's Pirates, looking to replicate his strong postseason debut. For Baltimore, it will be young righty Dennis Martinez (15 - 16 3.66 ERA 292 IP), who led the AL in innings pitched this season. This game will come down to the bullpen and the bench, both strengths for these managers. Tune in for another thrilling matchup. Audio clips from joeydbball Youtube.

Friday October 12th, 1979 @ Three Rivers Stadium in Pittsburgh, PA The series is tied at one game apiece as we head to Pittsburgh for games three through five. Rain is in the forecast for tonight's game, but with the turf only a downpour will cause a delay (spoiler alert, there will be a downpour). Tonight's pitching matchup will consist of two lefties. Young hurler Scott McGregor (13 - 6 3.35 ERA 174 IP) takes the hill coming off one of the best performances of his career against the Angels in the ALCS. Former All-Star John Candelaria (14 - 9 3.22 ERA 207 IP) gets the call for Chuck Tanner's squad. The tall lefty has been battling back issues down the stretch, but can still deliver an ace level outing on occasion. With left handers on the hill for both teams, the managers will call upon their right-handed bats to fill out the lineup. Earl Weaver will turn to Kiko Garcia, Benny Ayala, and Gary Roenicke to play the platoon advantage, while Chuck Tanner slides in Bill Robinson and Steve Nicosia. Which decisions will be fortuitous tonight? Tune in for an explosive game three. Audioclips from joeydbball Youtube.

Wednesday October 10th, 1979 @ Memorial Stadium in Baltimore, MD After a rainout the previous night, the 1979 World Series is set to begin at Memorial Stadium in weather fit for football (40 degrees and wet). A rematch of the 1971 Fall Classic, Earl Weaver's Baltimore Orioles look to get the edge on Chuck Tanner's Pittsburgh Pirates. These are two evenly matched ballclubs, the champions of their respective leagues. They share a lot of similarities in roster construction, boasting star power at right field and first base (Murray and Singleton for BAL: Stargell and Parker for PIT), productive platoon options in left (Lowenstein/Roenicke: Robinson/Milner), burners in center (Bumbry: Moreno), scrappy infielders (DeCinces, Belanger, and Dauer: Madlock, Foli, and Garner), top of the rotation aces (Flanagan and Palmer: Candelaria and Blyleven), and reliable bullpen arms who are no stranger to high leverage situations that (Stanhouse, Stoddard, and Martinez: Tekulve, Jackson, and Romo). This series will be quite a battle. Taking the mound for Baltimore is lefty Mike Flanagan (23 - 9 3.08 ERA 265 IP), a workhorse whose addition of a changeup to his repertoire elevated him to a Cy Young caliber pitcher. Opposing him is veteran righty Bruce Kison (13 - 7 3.19 ERA 172 IP), who was just a rookie when the Pirates beat the O's back in '71. Coming into this game, Kison has allowed just one run in 22 career postseason innings (4 - 0 record, 1 GS). Who will take game? Tune in to an excellent start to this World Series.

Friday Afternoon, October 5th, 1979 @ Three Rivers Stadium in Pittsburgh, PA After two thrilling extra-inning victories in Cincinnati, the Pirates are headed home on the precipice of another World Series berth. The 'Family', as they are referred to by their loyal fans, have excelled in all facets of the game: great starting pitching (Candelaria and Bibby), tremendous defense (Foli, Madlock, and Ott), timely hitting (Stargell and Parker), and clutch bullpen heroics (Tekulve, Jackson, and unexpectedly Don Robinson!). Pittsburgh manager Chuck Tanner is confident those trends will continue, sending a veteran righty to the mound, Bert Blyleven (12 - 5 3.60 ERA 237 IP). The Dutch-born hurler will deliver one of the best games of his storied Hall-of-Fame career in his first career postseason start. Reds manager John McNamara is hoping to keep the Pirates big bats at bay with young righty Mike LaCoss (14 - 8 3.50 ERA 205 IP), a 23 year old All-Star in just his second season in the big leagues. If the youngster runs into early trouble, expect McNamara to turn to veteran lefty Fred Norman (11 - 13 3.64 ERA 195 IP). If things don't go the Reds way, it will likely be the final time that Joe Morgan dons a Cincy uniform, signaling an end to the era of the Big Red Machine.

October 3, 1979 @ Riverfront Stadium in Cincinnati Ohio The National League rivals are back at it again after the Pirates won in dramatic fashion in game one, thanks in large part to MVP Willie Stargell's 3-run homer in extra innings. This will be another game that will come down to the wire, and like game one, it will be a pitchers' duel. But unlike game one, this is a bit of an unexpected matchup, with neither starter being in their teams rotation for the majority of the season. For John McNamara's Reds, it will be 22 year old rookie righty Frank Pastore (6 - 7 4.25 ERA 95 IP), who spent much of the year in between the majors and AAA, but finished strong down the stretch with a 3 - 1 record in September, including a shutout against the Braves to close the season. On the mound for the Pirates is big righty Jim Bibby, (12 - 4 2.81 ERA 137 IP), a veteran fireballer who was a swingman for most of the year, but flourished as a starter in the second half. Bibby's stuff has always been electric, but his command can be inconsistent to say the least. Pittsburgh manager Chuck Tanner will look for his starter to provide some length before turning it over to his often-utilized bullpen. Tune in for another excellent playoff baseball game.

October 2, 1979 @ Riverfront Stadium For the fourth time this decade, the Pittsburgh Pirates and the Cincinnati Reds will face off for the National League Pennant. The Reds have had the advantage so far this decade, defeating the Buccos in the previous three series with a combined 9-2 record. Both of these teams have dominated their respective divisions throughout this decade (6th NL east crown for PIT, 5th NL West crown for CIN), but the teams look a bit different from their previous matchups. Yes, Willie Stargell and Dave Parker are still threats in the middle of the lineup; but now they are supported by the likes of Omar Moreno, Bill Madlock, Phil Garner, and others. Bert Blyleven and Jim Bibby have come in to stabilize the rotation. Danny Murtagh is long gone as manager; Chuck Tanner gets his first crack at the postseason. Ditto for John McNamara, who replaces legendary Reds skipper Sparky Anderson (who left for Detroit). Tom Seaver is the new ace for the Reds. Key cogs of the Big Red Machine, Pete Rose and Tony Perez, departed in free agency. Former MVPs Joe Morgan and George Foster have battled injuries all year, and it seems as if these games may be the last that Morgan will play in a Red uniform. The Great Johnny Bench and ever reliable Dave Concepcion are still solid as ever up the middle, but Cincinnati has needed the boost from others like Ray Knight and Dave Collins. This game one figures to be a pitchers' duel, with two aces going at it. Tom Seaver (16 - 6 3.14 ERA 215 IP) takes the hill in his first, and surprisingly only postseason game for the Reds since he was traded in '77. On the bump for Pittsburgh is lefty John Candelaria (14 - 9 3.22 ERA 207 IP), one of the most dependable left-handed starters in all of baseball for the better part of a decade (averaged 15 - 9 3.19 ERA 216 IP between '76 - '80). This game and this series will be determined by great defense and timely hitting, as many thrilling postseason series are. Tune in for a fantastic game one. Audio Clips from joeydbball Youtube.

There is probably no popular song more widely associated with one team in baseball history than “We Are Family” and the 1979 Pittsburgh Pirates. This marks the 40th anniversary of the last World Series championship celebrated in Pittsburgh. On this episode of “30 With Murti," WFAN's Sweeny Murti talks to the rubber-armed closer of that Pirates team, Kent Tekulve. He tells us about the leadership of Willie Stargell, the man known as “Pops,” and how he brought the team together. Tekulve also tells us how and why a team of such diverse people found a theme of “Family,” identified itself with the working class population of the 1970s steel city of Pittsburgh and took it all the way to a World Series championship when they beat the Orioles in a seven-game series for the second time in the decade. Also listen for the moving story of how the Pirates rallied from a 3-1 series deficit behind their manager, Chuck Tanner, who led his team hours after the passing of his mother. “We Are Family” and the Pittsburgh Pirates are tied together forever. This is their story.
It appears Chris Sale has cashed in with the Boston Red Sox, as the trend continues to keep players from entering free agency. In this edition of The Baseball Beat, I talk about this latest approach to signings, Opening Day and the time I interviewed Chuck Tanner. Tanner, who died in 2011 at the age of 82, was the manager of the Atlanta Braves when I interviewed him on May 29, 1986. A successful manager with the Chicago White Sox, Oakland Athletics and Pittsburgh Pirates - a club he led to a World Series title in 1979 -Tanner was in his first year as Atlanta manager. One of the reasons I dug out this interview is so you could hear a classic example of how a manager could answer your question without answering your question. Tanner was a master at it, particularly talking to someone like me, who he did not know. I was a broadcaster for the Richmond Braves, thus was not on the Atlanta Braves beat. Tanner was polite and considerate, but as you would imagine guarded. Of course, in this day and age, I would not have been able to even walk up to a big league manager and ask for an interview, as I did on that May day with Tanner, during batting practice. In 2019 a media conference would be organized, the manager would sit at a mic behind the table. and the questions would be asked by an entire media. Chances of getting a one-on-one would be highly unlikely. That said, I hope you enjoy the interview.

Jerry Reuss is a former left-handed pitcher who enjoyed a 22-year career (1969-90) in Major League Baseball. The native of St. Louis was a two-time All-Star selection (in 1975 and ’80), was named National League Comeback Player of the Year in 1980 and was a member of the Los Angeles Dodgers’ 1981 World Championship team.

Chuck Tanner (7/4/28-2/11/11) was a left-handed batter and thrower, who signed his first contract with the Boston Braves. He played for eight seasons (1955 - 1962) for four different teams: the Chicago Cubs and Los Angeles Angels, as well as the Braves (then based in Milwaukee) and the Indians. In 396 games played, Tanner batted .261 with 21 home runs.In 1963 he began managing in the Angels' minor league system, where in 1970 he led the AAA Hawaii Islanders to 98 wins in 146 games and the Pacific Coast League pennant. He then received his first major league managing assignment in 1970 with the Chicago White Sox.With the White Sox, Tanner managed the temperamental Dick Allen. His most successful season with the Sox came in 1972, when he managed them to a close second-place finish in the AL West behind the eventual World Series champion Oakland Athletics. Tanner managed the Sox until 1975.In 1976, Charles Finley hired Tanner to manage the Oakland Athletics. With speedy players such as Bert Campaneris, Bill North, and Don Baylor, Tanner made the A's into a running team, stealing a major league-record 341 bases. Before the 1977 season, the A's were in the process of trading off many of their stars of the great team that won three straight championships from 1972-74. Part of the sell-off was the trading of Tanner's services to the Pittsburgh Pirates for an aging Manny Sanguillen. He reached the pinnacle of his managerial career in '79 with the World Champion Pittsburgh Pirates. Tanner was well known for his unrelenting optimism, which permeated his teams. The Pirates won in 79 after falling behind, 3-1 in the World Series. Tanner finished his managerial career with the Atlanta Braves.He is the father of former MLB player and coach Bruce Tanner. In 2006, he was invited to be a coach in the 2006 All Star game by NL manager Phil Garner, and threw out the first pitch.
