How the Pittsburgh Pirates roster timeline works

Here you line up Pittsburgh Pirates players by the year each one joined the club. One player starts on the timeline with his year in view. Every card you draw shows a name and a position like center fielder or catcher, and you choose the gap he belongs in. Right gaps reveal the year; wrong gaps still move him to his real place and cost one of three lives.

Pittsburgh's baseball history runs deep, and the oldest cards come from the club's early days, before it settled on the Pirates name. The deck then spreads across the whole story, from the first great teams to the famous championship clubs and recent playoff runs. Outfielders are especially common. Pirates lifers are hard to place, since they joined long before the moments people remember.
