Letter from the Director

Dear Campers:

Welcome to the 2020 Pirates Fantasy Camp and we are happy you have joined us for this very special week. Once again we would like to welcome you with our second edition of The Jolly Roger, the official camp newsletter for Pittsburgh Pirates Fantasy Camp. This newsletter includes everything you would have received in a standard welcome package and more.

The Jolly Roger was introduced at last year’s camp with the planning and execution of Joe B., the outstanding writing of our Beat Reporter Roy Berger and with the help of our Pirates design team, which will include Joe Klimchak during this week. The newsletter was created to enhance and share your camp experience and received rave reviews from the 2019 campers.

The Jolly Roger will be a daily newsletter that will cover all the camp news from the previous day. Copies will be available in your lockers each morning, also in the cafeteria for your morning breakfast reading and we will also email you a copy each day so that you can share it with family and friends.

Thank you for attending and being a part of our week of dreams and memories. If you have any questions or concerns during the week, please to do not hesitate to contact myself or Joe Billetdeaux.

PS – please direct any Jolly Roger newsletter ideas, thoughts, concerns, statistical inaccuracies and Real News to our Beat Reporter RB.

know the feeling. If you’re a rookie, you will experience the same. I’m sure of that.

This year we celebrate the 60th anniversary of that magic season. Vernon Law, the 1960 Cy Young Award winner, is with us to celebrate that great team. He is one of the most approachable ex-major leaguers you will ever find. Get to the cafeteria for breakfast early and grab a seat as Mr. Law holds court at his table. You won’t be sorry.

Enjoy the week. It will be very special. Let’s all agree to be back here in 2030 for the 70th celebration of 1960!1960 was what got me here ten years ago.

That was in 2010 — the 50th anniversary of Bill Mazeroski’s shot heard on transistor radios around the world. I snuck my radio into my shirt pocket in the fourth grade on October 13, 1960, but got home just in the nick of time to watch on black and white television as the Yankees Ralph Terry’s second pitch in the bottom of the ninth disappeared over Yogi Berra’s head.

My dad and I were Pirate fans living on Long Island. I’m pretty sure we were the only ones. When Dad got home from work that day I ran and gave him a great big hug like the Bucs did to Maz. It’s a moment that will never leave me.

Going to fantasy camp always had great appeal and the 2010 Pirates camp, a salute to the 1960 World Champs, was enough for my wife to push me over the fence, much like Maz’s drive.

I’ll never forget my first night in Bradenton a decade ago. I was nervous and very unsure that I wanted to be there. I had no idea what to expect. In fact I had a Southwest flight home the next day in case it didn’t work out. I never used the ticket.

I got to the cafeteria early for the opening banquet and there they were. First time I had seen any of them without a baseball uniform. Guys like Bill Virdon, Vern Law, Bob Friend and of course Maz were easily recognizable from their old Topps cards. I struggled a little bit with Bob Skinner, Bob Oldis and Joe Gibbon but I asked for help and got it from a camp vet. I was in baseball memory heaven. I was too scared to say hello to any of them and tell them what they meant to me. I just stood there with a big smile and couldn’t wait to call my dad.

That great week kept me coming back. The end of every camp has me impatiently waiting for the next one. No doubt you

The only professional baseball organization Vern Law ever played for was the Pittsburgh Pirates. He was signed as an 18-year-old in 1948 and made his major league debut in 1950. He missed the 1952 and 1953 seasons to serve his country during the Korean conflict. Law returned to the Pirates in 1954 and pitched until 1967. He served as Pirates pitching coach in 1968-69. Law’s banner year was 1960 with a 20-9 record, a 3.08 ERA, was named a NL All-Star and chosen as the National League’s Cy Young Award winner at the age of 30. The right-hander also started three games of the 1960 World Series. His career was derailed by injuries following the 1960 season but he rebounded in 1965 with a 17-9 record and was chosen the National League Comeback Player of the Year. He retired in 1967 with a career record of 162-147. A lifelong member of the LDS church, “The Deacon” spoke to the Jolly Roger from his Provo, Utah home.

Q- How Is Your Health?

I’ll be 90 on March 3 and I feel good. I’ve been very blessed. I still play golf and do quite a bit of walking. I also stay active mowing our lawn, gardening and pulling weeds. I don’t do my push-ups and sit-ups anymore and I stopped throwing batting practice at BYU and some of the local high schools two years ago. As every year went by home plate seemed to get further away from the mound.

Q- You’ve joked that you are responsible for Bill Mazeroski being in the Hall of Fame. Why?

I’m convinced if (manager) Danny Murtaugh would have left me in (1960 World Series) Game 7 instead of pulling me in the sixth inning, Maz would have never had to hit in the bottom of the ninth. We led 4-1 in the sixth when Murtaugh took me out and put in Roy

Face. Roy came in and gave up a three run homer to Yogi Berra. I’ve gotten myself out of trouble before and I was still strong at that point. But Danny was the boss. It turned out pretty good for Maz though, didn’t it?

Q- How did you injure your ankle in 1960 and what was the impact on your career?

I’ve never disclosed how this happened before but for Pirates fantasy camp, why not? When we clinched the pennant in Milwaukee all the guys were celebrating. I was probably the first guy out of the locker room and on to the team bus because I didn’t want to be around the alcohol or have any thrown on me. I was dressed in a jacket and tie. The guys finally got on the bus and they were rowdy. They thought they would have a little fun with me. (Broadcaster) Bob Prince came over and cut my tie off.

10 QUESTIONS WITH VERNON LAW10 QUESTIONS WITH VERNON LAW

One of the guys grabbed my right foot and was trying to pull my shoe off and I heard my ankle pop. I was scheduled to pitch the first game of the World Series which was 10 days later so I had time to take treatment for the ankle. I pushed off the mound hard with my right foot but I couldn’t do that in the Series so I tried to make up for it with enhanced arm and wrist movement. I got by the first two games okay but in Game 7 with a strain on my shoulder I re-tore my rotator cuff, an injury I had years before. It was only a slight tear but maybe that’s what Murtaugh saw and maybe that’s why he took me out. We never discussed it. I struggled for the next couple of seasons. I took cortison shots and all that stuff but it never felt right. It wasn’t much fun. Murtaugh advised me to retire but I didn’t want to. I loved the game and wanted to keep playing. I’m glad I did. I thought 1965 was the best season I ever had.

Q- What was your salary in 1960 and ‘61 and how do you feel about the money the players are making today?

I made $35,000 in 1960 and after winning the Cy Young I got a nice bump to $50,000 in 1961. I got cut 25% in 1962 because of my arm trouble. I don’t begrudge today’s players but I think everyone needs to acknowledge Curt Flood and the courage he showed challenging the reserve clause which ultimately opened free agency and today’s salaries. Also, without question the players from my era are the ones that got this started. We originally funded the pension out of our own pockets and then we got the owners to participate. We got funds from the All-Star game and World Series. Today’s players benefit from what we did and that’s okay. The biggest change has been television money and corporate sponsors. Free agency and the contracts have just gone crazy. I really don’t know how much money people need to live on these days. I know money was never a priority to me.

Q- You not only pitched but you could hit, too. A career .216 hitter with 35 doubles, seven triples, 11 home runs and 90 RBI. You pinch hit 12 times in your career. You hit .333 in the ‘60 World Series. What was the secret to doing both so well?

I wanted to be a complete ballplayer. Hitting was a lot of fun to me and even helped me win some games. Branch Rickey took over as Pirates GM in the 50s and he wanted to convert me into a third baseman and outfielder to get my bat into the lineup every day. I told him no. I wanted to pitch more than anything else.

Q- You made 364 career starts with 119 complete games. In 1959 you completed 20 of 34 starts; in 1960, 18 of 35 and then in 1965 you rebounded to finish 13 of your

28 starts. In 1955 you pitched 18 innings in one game, threw 220 pitches, gave up nine hits, struck out 12, walked two, one earned run and got a no-decision. Five days later you came back and pitched a complete 10 inning game. You look at baseball today and the way the managers use their starters. What are you thinking as you watch this?

I think it’s crazy. Today if a starter can give you five innings they are out of there and the bullpen takes over. I always wanted to finish what I started, not have someone else do it. I don’t like watching the managers play the left/right game. I knew I could get guys out no matter what side they hit from. Back in my day the games used to take an hour and a half, maybe an hour forty-five tops. These days they have to use three, four, five pitchers which is why everything takes so long.

Q- The Yankees were supposed to steamroll the Pirates in 1960. They had Mantle, Maris, Berra, Skowron, Richardson, Kubek, Ford and a host of others. You started three of the Series games (1, 4, 7). Were you intimidated? Did you think you had a chance?

We knew we could beat them. We were truly a team. Everyone believed in each other. We stayed together and we even liked each other. I had a book from the scouts that told me how to pitch to the Yankees and that was a great help when you hadn’t seen them all season. I knew we would win.

Q- Where were you when Maz hit the home run and what did you do right after it?

I was in the dugout. When he hit it, I thought the ball had a chance to go out but figured at least it would be a double.

I went berserk but I didn’t run out onto the field. I knew what a mess it was going to be and I wanted to stay in one piece. I went right into the clubhouse and stayed as far away from the alcohol as I could which wasn’t easy!

Q- Who was the toughest batter you ever faced and best baseball player you ever watched?

Stan Musial was the toughest for me. He could hit to all fields and gave me fits. The most complete player was probably Willie Mays. He was a great hitter, fielder, had a great arm and could steal bases. I had pretty good luck with him because he didn’t like side-arm pitchers. When I got two strikes on him I would drop down and go inside. He didn’t like that too much.

Q- This will be your sixth fantasy camp. You were here in the 1960 anniversary years of 2000, 2005, 2010 and now 2020. Also in 2007 and 2013. What will you see this week?

These guys and gals are great to be around. They are eager, want to learn and want to have fun. I enjoy this just as much as the campers do. The only difference was we had baseball talent as youngsters and made the most of it. I love talking baseball. Any questions anyone wants to ask me they are more than welcome. I love this week.

Q- One last bonus question. Legend has it that catcher Bob Oldis was the one in 1960 that tried to rip your shoe off when you injured your ankle. You never disclosed who it was. How about now, just between us campers?

A-(Laughs). Yes.

“THESE GUYS AND GALS ARE GREAT TO BE AROUND. THEY ARE EAGER, WANT TO

LEARN AND WANT TO HAVE FUN. I ENJOY THIS JUST AS MUCH AS THE CAMPERS DO.

THE ONLY DIFFERENCE WAS WE HAD BASEBALL TALENT AS YOUNGSTERS AND MADE

THE MOST OF IT.”– VERNON LAW

Nine camp rookies will step through the Pirate City clubhouse doors on Sunday morning to do something they’ve never done before. They’ll be plenty nervous, rightly so.

Later that same morning Steve Blass will walk into the Pirate City coaches room just like he’s been doing for the past 25-30 years. He’ll be nervous, too.

Blass has long since traded tossing baseballs for tossing barbs and wants to make sure he has enough of them to last the full Pirates Fantasy Camp week.

“It’s a strange thing but every year before the first Morning Briefing I get apprehensive,” Blass said. “I’m always worried I won’t have enough material but I always wind up with a full sheet. And as the week goes by it just seems to self-perpetuate.”

Blass has no idea how long he has been doing Pirates camp as a pitching legend and kangaroo court funny man. Joe Billetdeux says Steve hasn’t missed a camp since 2000, which is as far back as his records go.

“No, it’s a lot longer than that,” Blass said. “I think I first got started in 1989 or 1990 when it was called Dream Week. I’m pretty sure there hasn’t been a Pirates camp that I haven’t been a part of. I know I’ve never missed one that I’ve been asked to do.”

His morning court gig has become the stuff of legend.

“I just love it,” Blass smiled. “There’s always material. I have people giving me stuff

all the time in addition to what I see. I’ve built a pretty good network of ‘informers.’ And in many cases the stuff I see myself goes beyond belief.”

The 1971 World Series hero, who serves as camp judge, jury and appellate hearing officer, works hard to maintain a sensitive-line during his daily minutes on the court bench.

“One of the things I’m sensitive about and cognizant of are the ladies that are there every morning,” Judge Blass said. “I study comedy, especially the ones that are funny that don’t have to be gross. Maybe I go a little bit off-color sometimes but my intention is never to offend. I hope I’ve been successful at that. We all can have a good time and a few laughs and keep things above the line.”

This year Blass comes to fantasy camp without having day-to-day responsibilities in the Pirate organization either as a player or broadcaster. He retired after 60 such years last fall. He called his PNC Park retirement ceremony “a fairy tale. It was something I never could have imagined.” The Bucs have named him a special ambassador and Steve will do appearances for the team throughout the year. However, being away from the game on a daily basis by no means will temper his competitive spirit.

“I want to win no matter what I’m doing and it will be no different this week,” Blass, who will team with Richie Hebner, said.

“I’ve always told myself that one of these camps I’d like to do nothing but draft guys that have been my friends over the years, but once I get into the draft room

I get incredibly competitive and want to put a team together that will be the last group standing on Thursday. I think all the coaches in camp feel the same way. There is more shouting and hollering during that camper draft than you can imagine!”

Once fantasy camp ends, Blass will turn his sights to opening day of the Pirates season, even though he no longer will play a regular role.

“Opening day has been a big day for me since I was eight years old with a baseball glove and ball tied under my mattress. Opening day means baseball is starting again and the world will be alright.

“This year will be different, no doubt,” the career 103 game winner admitted. “I will sit in the stands on opening day at PNC but after that I don’t know how often I will go out. I’m going to miss it terribly but retiring was the right thing to do for so many reasons. It’s my time to be there for (wife) Karen and the family. They gave so much to me over the years that I look forward to being at home, spending quality time.”

Sunday morning Blass will return to his sacred ground of kangaroo court, right field on Pirate City Field #4, and no doubt will have a long list of fines to levy even after only one night in Bradenton. If you are looking to become an ‘informer’ for the judge, be warned.

“Do I take it any easier on those that bring me stuff?” Steve laughed. “Hell, no. I fine them even more for being rats.”

Court is now is session. Judge Steve Blass presiding.

TELL IT TO THE JUDGE!TELL IT TO THE JUDGE!

“I THINK I FIRST GOT STARTED IN 1989 OR 1990 WHEN IT WAS CALLED DREAM WEEK. I’M PRETTY SURE THERE HASN’T BEEN A PIRATES CAMP THAT I HAVEN’T BEEN A PART OF.”

A couple of Bradenton camp legends will be missing on the field and in the clubhouse this year.

Bill Sirakos, a 13 camp veteran, tore the meniscus in his left knee and suffered a micro fracture bone bruise of the tibia and femoral condyle while playing ball back in August.

Paul Metlin, with 14 camps on his resume, has a frequent guest pass at his local Jacksonville, Florida hospital. In February he had surgery for a ligament tear in his right rotator cuff; in May it was a knee replacement; Paul suffered a heart attack in August and is scheduled for a total reverse shoulder replacement this spring. Otherwise he is feeling pretty good.

Get well quick boys. Camp won’t be the same without you!

Did You Know?

Ten members of the 2019 champion Team Wagner return to 2020 camp. Jim Fitzgerald, Wardo Brigham, Rico Ries, Anthony Sciulli, Herb Snyder, Kevin Wright, Glenn Merlin, Boyd Walters, ‘Big Country’ Lytle Bob Terrell and Bob Shaffer return. Also coach John Candelaria, staff assistant Chris Petersen and booster Jack Steele. Only Victor Vendetti and Dave Zacur won’t be in Bradenton.

REST IN PEACE

Collectively, they’ve worn the uniform of eight major league teams.

Combined, they’ve spent over 50 weeks at baseball fantasy camps.

Wardo Brigham, Rico Ries and Mike Labanowski have more uniforms in their closets than you’ll find on the sales rack at Dick’s.

This will be Wardo’s 17th camp, his eighth as a Pirate; he’s also played at four Mets, two Reds, a Braves, Tigers and Yankees camp.

Rico has 13 on his resume before this week. He’s been to the Reds twice along with the Yankees, Tigers, Braves and Mets. Sunday begins his eighth Pirates camp, same as Wardo.

“It’s my favorite week of the year,” Rico said. “It my Christmas.”

Labanowski has lost count. Between the Dodgers, Blue Jays, Yankees and Pirates, he’s over 20. Labs goes to multiple camps a year — last year he did the Dodgers, Yankees and Pirates; he just concluded the Blue Jays and Yankees in November, and will get the hat trick again this week at Pirate City.

Wardo, a Mets fan, got started in 1996 with the Mets and did a couple more before he and Rico began their streak in 2007 with the Braves.

The dynamic duo have been friends since 1989 when they were both in New Jersey. Wardo has since moved to Houston, Tx. They use camp as a personal reunion.

“Fantasy camp is the one time and place we go each year where I get to hang out

THE CAMP ROAD LEADS TO BRADENTONTHE CAMP ROAD LEADS TO BRADENTON

with my best friend without the day-to-day worries of the world,” Wardo said.

Labs, originally a Dodgers fan, broke his camp maiden in 2006 at historic Dodgertown in Vero Beach, Fl. “The Dodgers camp will always be special to me because it’s the first camp I went to and it was the first time I saw my name on the back of a major league uniform, which was pretty awesome,” he smiled.

Labs, who lives northwest of Tampa, begins his fifth straight camp in Bradenton. “I really love the Pirates week because of the guys that keep coming back and the Pirate City complex,” he said and added, “the Pirates really do look at the camp as an extension of the organization and treat us all like family. Other camps may say they do the same thing, but it’s nothing like what the Pirates do.”

Wardo has tasted fantasy life elsewhere and has no doubt what’s tops on his list. “My favorite is definitely the Pirates. I’ve been a Mets fan all my life and that always feels like home when I go there, but the way the Pirates camp is run makes it the best in my opinion,” he said.

“I love Pirate City and everything being in one place. Joe Billetdeaux takes care of your every need and Joe Klimchak and his commentary and post-game interviews are something no other camp does. Win or lose, and I’d rather win, it’s a great week!”

The trio became aware of the Pirates week when it was touted to them by a Pirates camp vet while playing elsewhere. Wardo and Rico were at Tigers camp in 2011, and Labs at

Yankees camp in 2015, when they first heard about it.

“Rico and I were at Tigers camp in Lakeland and it rained all week,” Wardo, who closed out last year’s championship game for Team Wagner on the mound recalled. “It was a very long week. We had a teammate...I forget his name, but he was a tall, very slow, left handed first baseman who I think is now a reporter for something called the Jolly Roger. He recommended we give the Pirates a try. I just had a feeling, about a month before that first camp in 2012, that this would be the place for us. I was right.”

Wardo and Rico will be teammates again this year. They always are. If you wind up on their team the odds are in your favor you will be playing on Thursday night at LECOM.

The Elias Sports Bureau has nothing on Wardo. Ever see him in the dugout between innings jotting away on his notepad? It’s his own camp metric system, the ‘Warico Index’, which will tell you that all-time at Pirates camp, Wardo and Rico have posted a .711 winning percentage as teammates. If you think that’s impressive, how about the incredible .941 the boys have for ‘TV games’, winning 16 of the 17 camps they have played? Those aren’t stats you can find just anywhere.

Wardo has no long term plans to give up his Pirate City clubhouse locker.

‘I’ll probably stop playing when there is a tombstone over my head,” he said and then laughed,” unless I can figure out a way to get out of there for a week.”

This summer, like they do every five years, the Reynolds High School Class of 1985 will get together for a reunion. This year they will will be celebrating their 35th year away from the Greenville, Pa. school.

Four of the 150 graduates—Jack Troutman, Ralph Fuchs, Jeff Kuhn and Jim Gentile— aren’t going to wait until summer to celebrate. They will do it this week at Pirate City.

“I don’t ever recall four high school classmates coming to Pirate Fantasy Camp together,” coordinator Joe Billetdeaux said and then laughed. “Actually, yes I do. It was two years ago when the four of them came for the first time!”

The four Reynolds Raiders stayed close after leaving high school and through the years would get together often. Coincidentally, Troutman and Gentile, unbeknownst to each other, made plans to attend fantasy camp in 2009.

“I’m really not sure how that happened,” Troutman recalled. “One day Jim and I were talking and going to camp came out of our mouths at just about the same time. We had a real good laugh about that.”

Gentile came back to Bradenton in 2014 and Troutman the next year. When they both decided to go to the 2018 camp, they knew they had to convince the other two ‘Reynolds Boys’ to join them.

Fuchs and Kuhn were on the wait list for 2018 but cleared about a month before camp. “I had the time of my life,” Troutman smiled. “Seeing Ralph and Kuhnie enjoy it as much as they did was maybe my favorite part of the week. It was nice having the four of us together.”

Ironically, the one thing the four ‘Reynolds Boys’ have never done is play on the same baseball team. That will change in a matter of hours. Reynolds did not have a baseball program when they were in school so they played American Legion ball. Fuchs played on a different team than the other three. At ‘18 Pirates camp Gentile and Troutman played on the same team and Kuhn and Fuchs on another. A scheduling quirk prevented the two teams from playing against each other.

Actually, there will be five ‘Reynolds Boys’ on the Pirate City fields this week as Jack’s younger brother Tom graduated as a Raider two years later in 1987.

The ‘Boys’, all in their early 50’s, hope there won’t be another two year gap before they return to camp.

“After this year we hope it becomes an annual event. Just keeping coming to camp until we can’t go anymore,” Jack Troutman said.

Sunday morning for the first time ever Jim Gentile, Ralph Fuchs, Jeff Kuhn and

Jack Troutman will take the field together. The strange arm of fate, or maybe just Joe Billetdeaux’s pen, has the ‘Reynold’s Boys’ teamed together for the evaluation round.

There will be no mistaken the smiles coming from that diamond!

IRON MAN BRILES – A TRIBUTE TO DADIRON MAN BRILES – A TRIBUTE TO DAD

14

He was only coming to camp once. Sunday begins his 15th straight year.

One of the last conversations Nellie and David Briles had was about David coming to Pirates Fantasy Camp as a rookie in 2006.

“He would talk about camp all the time,” David said of his dad, Nellie. “I was so excited about 2006 because I was going to be 35, which was the minimum age to play. It also was the 35th anniversary of the 1971 World Championship team which Dad was part of.”

Nellie Briles was the Pirates Director of Corporate Sales and credited with starting the Pirates alumni association and fantasy camp. He was also a pretty solid right handed pitcher winning 129 games in a 14 year career with St. Louis, Kansas City, Texas, Baltimore and of course the Pirates. He was a two time World Champion; as a Cardinal in 1967, and of course the Bucs in 1971. Briles pitched a two-hit shutout in Game 5 of the ‘71 Series to give the Pirates a 3-2 lead heading back to Baltimore. The good guys won it in seven.

On February 13, 2005, shortly after the 2005 Pirates Fantasy Camp ended, the senior Briles hosted a Pirates alumni golf event in Orlando, Fl. Briles, 61, suffered a fatal heart attack on the golf course that day. Sadly, Nellie had two brothers that preceded him in death, also from heart attacks.

After his dad passed David had second thoughts about going to camp in 2006 but ultimately decided to attend as a tribute to his father.

“My dad and I were extremely close,” the younger Briles said. “I definitely wanted to go because camp meant so much to Dad, but I didn’t know if emotionally I could get through it. I was nervous. The week proved to be tough to get through but everyone made me feel so comfortable.”

That 2006 camp was going to be his one and only. “I was only going to go once but after the first camp, when September came around, I said to myself ‘you know, I think I want to do it again,’” he said.

At the closing dinner of the 2007 camp, Briles fittingly was honored with the very first ‘Nellie Briles Award’ for outstanding ability, teamwork and personality. He accepted with more than a tear in his eyes.

Now, 14 years later, David has a treasure chest full of camp memories but one moment in particular stands out going all the way back to his first Bradenton week.

“Occasionally my dad used to fall off the mound after he threw a pitch. He said it was because the pitching mound was lowered and he could never get used to it,” David remembered. “In 2006, my first camp, when we played the game at McKechnie Field against the former pro Pirates I wanted to pitch. The first ball I threw, I fell off the mound.

“I’m not sure the other campers knew what was going on but the pro staff did and they gave me a standing ovation,” David smiled.

“That was for Dad.”

Sunday begins David Briles’ 15th straight camp. “Every year I say ‘okay that’s enough’ but once it’s over I always look forward to going back,” he said and added,

“as much as you anticipate it, it’s alway better.”

The Pirates have always been David’s team. His family maintained a permanent residence in the Pittsburgh area even while Nellie played in other cities. When he retired, Pittsburgh became their home. David is a 1987 graduate of

Greater Latrobe Senior High School which also produced Fred Rogers and Arnold Palmer. He didn’t play baseball in high school but was a soccer star which eventually led to an opportunity to play collegiately at Centre College in Danville, Ky.

Today, Briles, 50, his wife Allison and their two teenage daughters live just outside Columbus, Ohio where David is a program manager for Worthington Industries, a steel processing company.

Camp has become bittersweet for him. “I think of Dad every minute I’m at Pirate City,” Briles said. “That’s all I really think about. His legacy and wanting to make him proud.”

Fifteen years later is there anything David Briles has not accomplished at Pirates camp?

“Yeah,” he laughed. “One of these years I’d like to win my first championship!”
