Last Pirate to get 40+ HR in one season: Willie Stargell in 1973.

I saw this stat today and was frankly shocked. With the helium-inflated baseballs in use since the 90's and the emphasis on the long ball, every other team in baseball has had at least one 40+ HR hitter in the 21st century. Fifty years for the Pirates.

Man, I knew they were bad, didn't know they were that bad.
