2012 has provided the Pirates and their fans with entertaining baseball and a legitimate shot at a postseason birth for the first time since 1992.
This could mark the first time since the turn of the century that the Pirates have surpassed 80 wins, let alone contended for the playoffs.
Yet, this century, while providing plenty of heartache to Pirates fans, has provided some players that were worth the price of admission to come and see play. Naturally, some grace the field at the present day.
I will attempt to rank the top 10 Pirates since Y2K over the next few slides to revive good memories from a much drearier past as well as to show where current Buccos stand amongst them.
