Pirates Relaxed Tone Helps Win Hard Fought Race
Pittsburgh catcher Jim Pagliaroni says the Pirates stay serious about baseball while keeping clubhouse humor to relieve tension in the pennant race. He notes Steve Blass’s humor after strikeouts, colorful teammates Roberto Clemente and Andre Rodgers, and fans’ reactions to their antics. Pagliaroni admits weight battles with Mazeroski and Mikkelsen, praises Willie Stargell’s joking, and argues modern baseball must be more colorful to compete with other sports and show business. He quotes GM Joe Brown on close fan relations, and comments on longer games and pace with batters adjusting and pine tar becoming time wasters, noting only concessionaires gain from lengthy games.
