The Slide: Leyland, Bonds, and the Star-Crossed 1990s Pirates

The authors document the Pirates' ups and downs from the 1979 World Series championship through the 1980s when the city nearly lost the team, to the promise but ultimate frustration of the 1990-1992 teams that lost in heartbreaking fashion despite a talented manager in Jim Leyland and an exceptional (but controversial) player in Barry Bonds.
