Gregory Spalding wanted to chronicle the many great events and experiences that occurred during the 20 years where the Pirates went from losers to winners again. He includes photos of his two children on the back running the bases to illustrate how long it took. Carlos, his older son, ran the bases at Three Rivers back in 1998 and the younger son, Willard, ran the bases in 2013. Carlos is now 25 and Willard is 8. So he wishes to celebrate fathers and sons and baseball at the same time.
