The 2015 Pittsburgh Pirates have really found their strides at the halfway point. Through 82 games, the club has the second best record in all of baseball – albeit still while chasing the St. Louis Cardinals. The Pirates have done this in a myriad of ways. At times they look like an offensive powerhouse; other times they struggle to put runs on the board while relying on good pitching.
More than anything, baseball is a game of numbers and statistics. It is unique in that regard. Pop quiz – can you tell me who rushed for the most yards in a single season in football?
