1992 Pittsburgh Pirates season

The 1992 Major League Baseball season was the 111th season in the history of the Pittsburgh Pirates and their 106th in the National League. This was their 23rd season at Three Rivers Stadium. For the third consecutive season, the Pirates won the National League East title with a record of 96–66.

In an NLCS rematch with the Atlanta Braves, the Pirates went down 3–1 before forcing a Game 7 back in Atlanta. They took a 2–0 lead into the bottom of the 9th inning, needing just one out to reach the World Series. But their season came to an abrupt end when they allowed 3 runs to the Braves, capped by Francisco Cabrera's two-run RBI single to score David Justice and an injured Sid Bream, a former Pirate. The loss was so agonizing for the Pirates that it contributed to a 20-year drought that saw them fail to clinch a winning season or postseason berth until 2013. This would be the final time that the Pirates would win the NL East as they would be reassigned to the National League Central during division realignment in 1994. Since the Pirates have never won the NL Central, this marks the most recent time that they have won a division title as of today. Moreover, this is the last time the Pirates have appeared in an NLCS.
