Bill Meyer Sees Pirates Meet Pennant Challenge in 1949
Pirates manager Billy Meyer argues the 1949 club has 25 percent more material and could win the pennant if a new starter arrives. Pittsburgh added Murray Dickson after last season’s fourth-place finish and faces rotations with Dickson, Chesney, Lombardi, Riddle, Chambers or Werle, and relief from Higbe Casey Muncrief or Johnson. Aging stars, base positions unsettled, and rookies like Beard compete as the club guards a hopeful but debated path to success.
