A this is kind of like icing on the cake for this season a Leyland said. A but i still wish i was in the position Lou Piniella  Leyland 45, won in his fifth season with Pittsburgh he was a career minor league Man before that spending seven seasons As a Catcher in the Detroit organization and managing for 11 years in the tigers system. He joined the White sox As a coach in 1982 and studied under manager Tony la Russa who remains one of Leyland a closest friends. Pittsburgh gave him his first shot at managing in the majors in 1986. At the time the pirates were among the worst teams in the majors on and off the Field. There was talk that the franchise might leave Pittsburgh. A a lot of people asked Why in the world i took that Job and i d facetiously answer that it was the Only one that was offered a Leyland said. A but sometimes you have a gut feeling that things Are going to turn out right. I just thought things would work  Pittsburgh improved the first three years under Leyland going 85-75 in 1988 and challenging the mets for most of the season. But in 1989, the pirates slipped far Back. They were Given Little Chance this season of competing with the mets the defending Champion Chicago cubs or St. Louis. The bucs struggled for the first two weeks then began to hit their stride and ultimately took Over first place. Pittsburgh stayed there for most of the season and even when the mets nudged ahead in the first week of september refused to fold As Many had predicted. Leyland would not let his team collapse guiding the pirates with an intense yet Cool Demeanour. He quit smoking Midway through the seasons and just when his own team expected him to become More nervous he did not. Instead he kept the pirates in front by skilfully sticking with whoever was the hot reliever be it Stan Belinda Vincente Palacios or Bill Landrum. Leyland also had the Benefit of Doug Drabek a who emerged As one of baseball a Best starters a plus the killer. Is Bonds and Bonilla along with Sid Bream Wally Backman and Jay Bell. The club finished four games ahead of the mets. Many had thought the division would be decided by a three game season ending series against new York at three Rivers stadium. But Pittsburgh clinched the Day before against St. Louis and by time the mets came to town the bucs had their first division title since 1979
