As this list notes, your Pittsburgh Pirates, with the exception of the Texas Rangers, are the not only the proud co-owners of the record for consecutive losing seasons, but they are also the team to have gone the longest without winning a playoff series.
That series, of course, was the 1979 World Series, which happened roughly a year before I was born. That's right, I'm approaching 30 and the Pirates haven't won a playoff series in my entire lifetime. Hard to believe.

On a side note, my apologies for going MIA for the better part of two months. I've been working on relocating to the Columbus area and continuing my adventures in business travel, but we'll be back up and running in the very near future. Thanks to my three readers for your immense patience.
