Pirates announcer Greg Brown introduced a team that made major history when it started the first all-minority lineup on Sept. 1, 1971, against the Philadelphia Phillies at Three Rivers Stadium with a lineup of Rennie Stennett, Gene Clines, Roberto Clemente, Willie Stargell, Manny Sanguillen, Dave Cash, Al Oliver, Jackie Hernandez and Dock Ellis. Not just any lineup, either, but one with several HoF and All Stars. That's an impressive group right there.
