Don't change the resolution on your monitor.  You just read that correctly.  The Pittsburgh Pirates are in first place!  This is not the first week of the season.  It's the morning of July 19.

After 18 consecutive seasons where the Pittsburgh Pirates finished the year with a losing record, they are on pace not only to finish with a winning record, but to also win the National League Central Division for the first time.   Back in 1992, things were looking great for the Pirates.  They finished with a record of 96-66, which won them the National League East Division.  However, for the third straight year, they lost the 1992 NLCS to the Atlanta Braves in one of the greatest playoff series of all-time.
