O comparti\u00c3\u00b3 con Chuck\u00c2\u00a0 el seguimiento de los Piratas que lucharon por el bander\u00c3\u00adn de la Liga Nacional en 1938 y llegaron segundos a 2 juegos de los Cachorros de Chicago. Seguro pasaron momentos de silencio y tristeza consol\u00c3\u00a1ndose porque los bucaneros se quedaron fuera de competencia. Ni que decir de que en 1960 a lo mejor su se\u00c3\u00b1ora madre llam\u00c3\u00b3 a Chuck euf\u00c3\u00b3rica por el jonr\u00c3\u00b3n de Billy Mazeroski que le dio la Serie Mundial a los Piratas o que pudieron compartir la gesta de Danny Murtaugh, Roberto Clemente, Steve Blass, Manny Sanguill\u00c3\u00a9n, Richie Hebner, Al Oliver, Bob Moose, Dock Ellis\u00c2\u00a0 y todo el equipo de Pittsburgh de 1971.<\/p>\n<p>\u00c2\u00a0Toda esa pasi\u00c3\u00b3n por el juego el peque\u00c3\u00b1o Chuck la empez\u00c3\u00b3 a demostrar en cada encuentro en la calle o en el estadio. Cuando debut\u00c3\u00b3 en Grandes Ligas en County Stadium el 12 de abril de 1955 vino a batear de emergente en el octavo inning por el gran zurdo Warren Spahn y le bate\u00c3\u00b3 un jonr\u00c3\u00b3n a Gerry Staley para igualar el juego a 2 carreras. El batazo fue al primer lanzamiento que Tanner ve\u00c3\u00ada en las mayores. Los Bravos de Milwaukee derrotaron a Cincinnati 4-2.<\/p>\n<p>\u00c2\u00a0La integridad\u00c2\u00a0 y la pasi\u00c3\u00b3n de Tanner\u00c2\u00a0 afloraron en el recuerdo de Bob Sproule cuando relat\u00c3\u00b3 su experiencia al llamar a Tanner para que hablara de b\u00c3\u00a9isbol en el Cap\u00c3\u00adtulo Pittsburgh de SABR. Chuck no s\u00c3\u00b3lo fue a la reuni\u00c3\u00b3n sino que cuando Sproule le iba a decir que su hora de charla hab\u00c3\u00ada conclu\u00c3\u00addo y pod\u00c3\u00ada dejarlo hasta ah\u00c3\u00ad, \u00c3\u00a9l le respondi\u00c3\u00b3 que terminar\u00c3\u00ada cuando estuviera listo y no antes. Al d\u00c3\u00ada siguiente muy temprano Tanner llam\u00c3\u00b3 a Sproule para agradecerle por haberlo invitado a la reuni\u00c3\u00b3n de SABR.<\/p>\n<p>\u00c2\u00a0 En dos ocasiones Tanner sustituy\u00c3\u00b3 a Hank Aaron en la alineaci\u00c3\u00b3n de los Bravos de Milwaukee. El 13 de mayo de 1956, (el primero de un doble juego en Cincinnati) y el 17 de junio de 1956 (el segundo de un doble juego en Brooklyn),\u00c2\u00a0 en ambas ocasiones Tanner entr\u00c3\u00b3 a jugar al campo en el cierre del sexto episodio y bate\u00c3\u00b3 en la parte alta del octavo. En Cincinnati jonrone\u00c3\u00b3 y en Brooklyn solt\u00c3\u00b3 doblete.<\/p>\n<p>\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0En 1970 Chuck Tanner recibi\u00c3\u00b3 una propuesta para dirigir a los Medias Blancas de Chicago y a\u00c3\u00ban cuando tuvo marca de 3-13 al final de esa temporada, Tanner sac\u00c3\u00b3 a los patiblancos del foso de la divisi\u00c3\u00b3n Este de La Liga Americana para llevarlos al tercer lugar en 1971 y al segundo puesto en 1972\u00c2\u00a0 a 5 juegos y medio de los Atl\u00c3\u00a9ticos de Oakland. Tanner convirti\u00c3\u00b3 a los patiblancos de un equipo basado en la defensiva y el pitcheo a otro que tambi\u00c3\u00a9n aprovechaba la ofensiva de Dick Allen, Bill Melton y Carlos Mays y la velocidad de Pat Kelly. \u00c2\u00a0All\u00c3\u00ad fue donde junto a Johnny Sain\u00c2\u00a0 le ense\u00c3\u00b1\u00c3\u00b3 un cambio de velocidad a Rich Goose Gossage y a partir de entonces fue un mejor pitcher que en 1971 dej\u00c3\u00b3 marca de 18-2 y 1.83 de efectividad con el Appleton Clase A. El primer consejo que Gossage recibi\u00c3\u00b3 de Tanner fue: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Hijo, si no eres capaz de hacer sentir inc\u00c3\u00b3modos a los bateadores mejor te buscas otro trabajo\u00e2\u20ac\u009d. De all\u00c3\u00ad fue convocado al equipo grande en los entrenamientos primaverales de 1972, asignado al bull pen. En un momento de los entrenamientos Tanner llam\u00c3\u00b3 a Gossage a su oficina y le dijo que lo iba a mandar a las menores. Gossage respondi\u00c3\u00b3 que era el mejor pitcher que hab\u00c3\u00ada en el campo. Tanner le pidi\u00c3\u00b3 que se lo demostrara. En tres innings ponch\u00c3\u00b3 a cada bateador que se enfrent\u00c3\u00b3, s\u00c3\u00b3lo hizo dos lanzamientos malos. Tanner tambi\u00c3\u00a9n fue responsable por pasar al nudillista Wilbur Wood del bull pen a la rotaci\u00c3\u00b3n de abridores y le fue muy bien.<\/p>\n<p>\u00c2\u00a0Despu\u00c3\u00a9s pas\u00c3\u00b3 a Oakland en 1976 y los llev\u00c3\u00b3 al segundo lugar (a 2 juegos y medio de los Reales de Kansas City) mediante un estilo de juego basado en la velocidad en las bases, impusieron una nueva marca para la Liga Americana con 341 robos.<\/p>\n<p>\u00c2\u00a0En 1977 Tanner llega a los Piratas de Pittsburgh y los lleva al segundo lugar al igual que en 1978. En 1977 se llev\u00c3\u00b3 a Gossage y a Terry Forster a los Piratas. Gossage\u00c2\u00a0 estuvo muy triste cuando al final de la campa\u00c3\u00b1a fue a retirar sus pertenencias del club house porque los Piratas no pod\u00c3\u00adan pagarle lo que val\u00c3\u00ada. &#8220;Met\u00c3\u00ad mis valijas en el carro y me sent\u00c3\u00a9 a llorar. Me gustaba el lugar, me gustaba el equipo y jugar para Chuck. Cuando los Piratas desistieron de firmarme, Tanner me dese\u00c3\u00b3 lo mejor y dijo que hacia lo correcto&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>\u00c2\u00a0En 1979 los Piratas\u00c2\u00a0 galvanizaron una qu\u00c3\u00admica que ven\u00c3\u00adan activando desde las dos campa\u00c3\u00b1as anteriores. En el clubhouse los \u00c3\u00a1nimos se disparaban mediante los apodos de \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Scrap Iron\u00e2\u20ac\u009d (Phil Garner), Mad Dog (Bill Madlock), Pops (Willie Stargell), \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Rubber Band Man\u00e2\u20ac\u009d (Kent Tekulve), \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Candy Man\u00e2\u20ac\u009d (John Candelaria), \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Crazy Horse\u00e2\u20ac\u009d (Tim Foli), \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Buck\u00e2\u20ac\u009d (Grant Jackson). \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Pops\u00e2\u20ac\u009d implement\u00c3\u00b3 un sistema de premios mediante estrellas que entregaba a \u00c2\u00a0cada pelotero que hubiese hecho algo especial para ganar un juego. La gorra de Tekulve parec\u00c3\u00ada una lluvia de meteoros de tantas estrellas que gan\u00c3\u00b3. Ning\u00c3\u00ban pitcher de ese equipo gan\u00c3\u00b3 15 juegos. Ning\u00c3\u00ban jugador de posici\u00c3\u00b3n empuj\u00c3\u00b3 100 carreras, sin embargo Stargell comparti\u00c3\u00b3 el premio al\u00c2\u00a0 jugador mas valioso de la Liga Nacional con Keith Hern\u00c3\u00a1ndez.<\/p>\n<p>\u00c2\u00a0\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Por ejemplo\u00c2\u00a0 Bill Robinson nuestro jardinero izquierdo, fue tan valioso como cualquiera de nuestros peloteros. Ed Ott y Garner tuvieron los mejores a\u00c3\u00b1os de sus carreras\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, dijo Tanner.<\/p>\n<p>\u00c2\u00a0Otra marca de aquel equipo fueron los movimientos poco ortodoxos que Tanner hizo en varios juegos. En un juego ante los Filis, sac\u00c3\u00b3 como emergente al zurdo John Milner por Steve Nicosia frente al tambien zurdo Tug McGraw. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153En las tribunas mi esposa era la primera que pensaba que estaba loco. Sin embargo cuando Milner bate\u00c3\u00b3 un jonr\u00c3\u00b3n con bases llenas, el p\u00c3\u00bablico empez\u00c3\u00b3 a aplaudir la decisi\u00c3\u00b3n. Le dije al masajista Tony Bartirome: \u00e2\u20ac\u02dc\u00c2\u00bfQue hubieran hecho si John no hubiese dado ese batazo?\u00e2\u20ac\u2122. Me contesto: \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcTe hubieran colgado\u00e2\u20ac\u2122\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, record\u00c3\u00b3 Tanner. Poco tiempo despu\u00c3\u00a9s Tanner dej\u00c3\u00b3 batear al zurdo Ott ante McGraw y nuevamente se produjo un jonr\u00c3\u00b3n con bases llenas para barrer un doble juego crucial en agosto ante los Filis.<\/p>\n<p>\u00c2\u00a0La ma\u00c3\u00b1ana del quinto juego de la Serie Mundial de 1979 sorprendi\u00c3\u00b3 a Tanner con la muerte de su madre. Su padre lo llam\u00c3\u00b3 y le dijo: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Vas a quedarte a dirigir ese juego. Eso es lo que tu madre hubiera querido\u00e2\u20ac\u009d. Tanner record\u00c3\u00b3 que su madre le hab\u00c3\u00ada prometido que estar\u00c3\u00ada en las tribunas en cada juego de la Serie. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Recuerdo que Dave Parker era su jugador favorito, me dije : \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcSi est\u00c3\u00a1s ah\u00c3\u00ad haz que Parker meta un batazo sobre el logo de los Cardenales de San Luis\u00e2\u20ac\u2122. Parker procedi\u00c3\u00b3 a despachar un doble impulsor en el s\u00c3\u00a9ptimo inning justo sobre el emblema de los Cardenales pintado sobre la pared del outfield del Three Rivers Stadium.\u00c2\u00a0 Tanner empez\u00c3\u00b3 a sentir que hab\u00c3\u00ada una fuerza especial en el ambiente. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Se me erizaron todos los vellos cuando sali\u00c3\u00b3 ese batazo\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, confes\u00c3\u00b3 Tanner. Pittsburgh gan\u00c3\u00b3 el quinto juego 7-1 y viajaron a Baltimore con confianza.<\/p>\n<p>\u00c2\u00a0Luego de derrotar a los Orioles 4-1 en el s\u00c3\u00a9ptimo juego con jonr\u00c3\u00b3n de Stargell y relevo de Tekulve, el pitcher Jim Bibby se acerc\u00c3\u00b3 a Tanner. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Los peloteros te dedicamos esta Serie Mundial, Chuck\u00e2\u20ac\u009d.<\/p>\n<p>\u00c2\u00a0Tambi\u00c3\u00a9n es casi seguro que luego de ver la pel\u00c3\u00adcula \u00e2\u20ac\u0153The Winning Season\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, Tanner recordara a su mam\u00c3\u00a1 a trav\u00c3\u00a9s de la barajita de Honus Wagner, como la record\u00c3\u00b3 en el dugout antes del quinto juego de aquella Serie Mundial cuando les dijo a sus peloteros: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Mi madre era una gran aficionada de los Piratas. Seguro se fue all\u00c3\u00a1 arriba a buscar ayuda para nosotros\u00e2\u20ac\u009d.<\/p>\n<p>Alfonso L. Tusa C.<\/p>\n<p>English translation<\/p>\n<p>Probably Tanner\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s mother talked to him about Honus Wagner, Bill Abstein, Fred Clarke, Vic Willis, Howie Camnitz, Lefty Leifield and all the Pittsburgh Pirates team that won the 1909 World Series, 4-3 before the Detroit Tigers. Or she shared with Chuck the passion for the Pirates who fought for the National League pennant in 1938 and finished in second place two games behind de Chicago Cubs. They for sure experienced moments of silence and sadness while sympathizing about the Pirates\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 disqualification. Maybe in 1960 his mother called Chuck euphoric because of the Billy Mazeroski home run that gave the Pirates the 1960 World Series, or they also shared the winning season of\u00c2\u00a0 Danny Murtaugh, Roberto Clemente, Steve Blass, Manny Sanguill\u00c3\u00a9n, Richie Hebner, Al Oliver, Bob Moose, Dock Ellis\u00c2\u00a0and the whole Pittsburgh team in 1971.<\/p>\n<p>\u00c2\u00a0Little Chuck began to show all that passion for the game at each contest at the street or the stadium. When he made his debut in MLB at County Stadium on April 12<sup>th<\/sup>, 1955; he pinch hit in the eight inning for Warren Spahn and hit a home run before Gerry Staley to tie the game 2-2. The shot was on the first delivery he saw in MLB. The Milwaukee Braves beat 4-2 the Cincinnati Reds.<\/p>\n<p>\u00c2\u00a0Tanner\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s integrity and passion appeared in Bob Sproule\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s\u00c2\u00a0 memory about the timewhen he called Chuck Tanner to talk about baseball at Pittsbugh Chapter of SABR. Chuck went to the meeting and when Sproule was going to tell him he had talked for an hour and that he could leave it until there; Tanner answered that\u00c2\u00a0 he would finish when he would be ready, not before. Next morning Tanner called Sproule to say \u00e2\u20ac\u0153thank you\u00e2\u20ac\u009d for inviting him to the SABR meeting.<\/p>\n<p>\u00c2\u00a0 In two games Tanner replaced Hank Aaron in the Milwaukee Braves line up. On May 13<sup>th<\/sup>, 1956 (the first of a doubleheader at Cincinnati) and on May 17<sup>th<\/sup> (the second of a doubleheader at Brooklyn). In both games Tanner started playing at the field in the bottom of the sixth inning. He went to bat in the top of the eighth and smacked a dinger at Cincinnati and a double at Brooklyn.<\/p>\n<p>\u00c2\u00a0In 1970 Chuck Tanner got a proposal to manage the Chicago White Sox and although he had a 3-13 record at the end of the season, Tanner took the White Sox out from the cellar of the American League West Division. They finished in third place in 1971 and second place in 1972, five and a half games behind the Oakland A\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s. Tanner shifted the White Sox from a team based on defense and pitching to other one that also benefited from the bats of Dick Allen, Bill Melton and Carlos May and the speed of Pat Kelly. There Johnny Sain explained\u00c2\u00a0 Tanner how to teach Rich Goose Gossage a new delivery, a change of speed. From that moment Gossage was a better pitcher. In 1971 he had an 18-2 balance with the Appleton Foxes of the Midwest League Class A. The first advice Gossage got from Tanner was: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Son, if you don&#8217;t make that hitter as uncomfortable as you can you might as well go do something else\u00e2\u20ac\u009d. Afterwards Gossage received the call from the White Sox to be at the 1972 spring training, to work in the bull pen. During the training camp Tanner called Gossage to his office and told him he was going to send him to the minors. Gossage answered that he was the best pitcher in the camp. Tanner asked him to show it. For three innings he struck out every batter he faced. He only made two bad pitches. Tanner also was responsible for passing Wilbur Wood from the bull pen to the starting rotation and the experiment also had good results.<\/p>\n<p>\u00c2\u00a0Tanner managed the Oakland A\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s in 1976 and led them to the second place (two and a hal games behind the Kansas City Royals) through a game philosophy based on speed. They set a new record for the American League with 341 stolen bases.<\/p>\n<p>\u00c2\u00a0In 1977 Chuck Tanner arrived to the Pittsburgh Pirates and carried them to the second place of the National League East Division in 1977 and 1978. He took with him Rich Gossage and Terry Forster. Gossage was very sad when at the end of the 1977 season he went to take his belongings out from the club house because the Pirates couldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t afford his contract. &#8220;I put my bags in the car and just sat there and cried. I loved it there, loved the team and playing for Chuck. To his credit, when the Pirates refused to keep me, Tanner wished me well and said I was making the right move.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The chemistry the Pirates were activating since 1977 finally galvanized in 1979. In the club house there was a great atmosphere with all those sticky nicknames. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Scrap Iron\u00e2\u20ac\u009d (Phil Garner), Mad Dog (Bill Madlock), Pops (Willie Stargell), \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Rubber Band Man\u00e2\u20ac\u009d (Kent Tekulve), \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Candy Man\u00e2\u20ac\u009d (John Candelaria), \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Crazy Horse\u00e2\u20ac\u009d (Tim Foli), \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Buck\u00e2\u20ac\u009d (Grant Jackson). \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Pops\u00e2\u20ac\u009d established a system of giving little stars pins for awarding the players who had made something important in each of the Pirates wins. Tekulve had so many stars in his cap that it seemed a meteor rain. That team didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t have any pitcher with at least 15 wins nor any position player who batted in 100 runs. Anyway Stargell shared the National League Most Valuable Player Award with Keith Hern\u00c3\u00a1ndez.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Take (left fielder) Bill Robinson for instance. He was as valuable as anyone on our ballclub. Guys like Ed Ott and Phil Garner had their best years that season. I gave them the green light to hit because I had the threat of Madlock, who was hitting in front of them, stealing bases. They were going to get a lot of good pitches to hit,&#8221; Tanner added.<\/p>\n<p>Another brand mark of that team was the unothodox movements Tanner made in some games. In a game before the Phillies he brought the lefthanded John Milner as pinch hitter for Steve Nicosia before the also lefthanded reliever Tug McGraw. &#8220;My wife was one of the people in the stands who thought I was crazy. However, when Milner hit a grand slam off him the fans were cheering wildly. I turned to our trainer, Tony Bartirome and said, &#8216;What would they have done if John hadn&#8217;t hit that?&#8217; He answered, &#8216;They would have hung you!'&#8221; Tanner recounted with a chuckle. Some time after that Tanner let the lefthanded Ed Ott hit against McGraw and again thing went good for him when Ott smacked another grand slam to help the Pirates sweep a crucial August double header.<\/p>\n<p>\u00c2\u00a0The morning of the 1979 World Series\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 fifth game surprised Tanner with his mother\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s death. His father called and told him: &#8216;You&#8217;re going to stay and manage. That&#8217;s what your mom would have wanted.&#8217;. Tanner recalled that his mother had promised to be in the stand for each game of the series. &#8220;Now Dave Parker was her favorite player and I remember saying to myself &#8216;If you&#8217;re so hot, let Parker hit one over that Cardinals&#8217; sign,&#8221; Tanner recalled. Parker then proceeded to smash an RBI double in the seventh inning, right at the spot where the St. Louis logo was painted on the outfield wall at Three Rivers Stadium. Tanner then began to feel that a special force was at work. &#8220;I got goose-bumps all over my body after that one,&#8221; he confessed. Pittsburgh won the game 7-1 and they traveled to Baltimore with confidence.<\/p>\n<p>\u00c2\u00a0After beating the Orioles 4-1 in the seventh game with a Stargell round tripper and a great relief by Tekulve, in a touching moment in the jubilant locker room, before any corks were popped on the champagne, pitcher Jim Bibby came up to Tanner and announced,&#8221;The players dedicated this World Series to your room, Chuck.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Also is almost a sure thing that after watching the film \u00e2\u20ac\u0153The Winning Season\u00e2\u20ac\u009d.2004. Tanner recalled his Mom through Honus Wagner card, as he remembered her before the fifth game of that World\u00c2\u00a0 Series: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153My Mom was a great Pirates fan. She knows we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re in trouble, so she went upstairs to get some help.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n<p>Alfonso L.
