Official 1979 World Series Program

This is an original official souvenir program for the 1979 World Series, which featured the Pittsburgh Pirates and the Baltimore Orioles. The cover art features a celestial, space-age theme with a deep blue night sky filled with stars and a glowing baseball at the center representing the '76th World Series.' The title 'World Series 1979' is boldly printed in white serif typography. The top left corner displays the original retail price of $2.00, while the top right features the official Major League Baseball logo and a small 'Kuhn' signature mark, referencing then-Commissioner Bowie Kuhn. Physically, the program is a standard magazine-sized publication on semi-glossy paper stock. The condition of this specific piece shows visible signs of handling, including a vertical crease running down the center, some surface rippling on the right side, and mild corner wear at the bottom left. The colors remain relatively vibrant without significant fading. These programs are historic documents of the era, traditionally containing team rosters, player statistics, and localized advertisements, serving as a significant piece of sports memorabilia from the 'We Are Family' Pirates championship season.
