Willie Stargell Faces Health Struggles Amid Pirates Return
Willie Stargell, famed Pirates slugger, has undergone dialysis for failing kidneys several times weekly for nearly five years. He spent spring training with Pittsburgh, scouted minor leaguers, and advised trades, but health limits keep him in and out of games. Stargell, a three-time World Series champion and MVP, retired in 1982 and later coached in Atlanta and Pittsburgh. The Pirates hope him in the season-ending game against the Cubs, health permitting, with a planned guest narrator appearance at a Symphony concert.
