The World Series Rewind continues as we travel back to the unforgettable 1979 Fall Classic, where the "We Are Family" Pittsburgh Pirates rallied from a 3-1 deficit to defeat the Baltimore Orioles in one of baseball's most memorable championships. We revisit the stars, the drama, the disco-era atmosphere, and the cultural backdrop that made the series an enduring classic.

Then we turn the clock back even further to the 1926 World Series, when veteran pitcher Pete Alexander entered in relief with the bases loaded and two outs to face Tony Lazzeri. What happened next became one of the defining moments in postseason history and cemented Alexander's place among the game's legends.

From comeback champions to clutch performances under impossible pressure, this episode celebrates two unforgettable chapters in World Series history.
