These three former Pittsburgh Pirates relief pitchers hold all-time records that you may not have known about

Baseball fans all know who holds the home run record. It’s Barry Bonds, whether you like him or not. Pete Rose has the most hits in MLB history, Rickey Henderson has the most steals of all-time, Mariano Rivera has the most saves of all-time, and Cy Young has both the most wins and losses for a pitcher in baseball history. 

But the Pittsburgh Pirates and their former players hold multiple records you probably didn’t know about. These aren’t the big, headline attention seeking ones, like the most hits, homers, or saves, but these former Pirates still broke records that still stand today.
