  • The 1971 World Series matched the defending champion Baltimore Orioles against the Pittsburgh Pirates, with the Pirates winning in seven games. Game 4, played in Pittsburgh, was the first-ever World Series game scheduled to be played at night. The two teams proved to be evenly matched, as the Series went the full seven games, with the Pirates' Steve Blass pitching a complete game four-hitter in winning Game 7, 2–1, against Mike Cuellar and the Orioles. The Pirates' Roberto Clemente, who turned into a one-man gang in the Series, became the first Latino player to earn World Series MVP honors. Clemente hit safely in all seven games of the 1960 World Series and all seven games of the 1971 World Series. (14 out of 14) Bruce Kison, who appeared in two games and finished with 6.1 innings pitched, tied the record set during the 1907 World Series when he hit three batters during a single series. Danny Murtaugh. who managed the 1960 Pirates to the World Championship was again the Pirates' manager, in the 3rd of his 4 tenures (primarily because of heart trouble) as Pirates' manager. Earl Weaver managed Baltimore to its 3rd consecutive pennant.
