Hank Greenberg, a veteran first baseman and outfielder, also played for the Pirates in 1947. Greenberg was a two-time American League MVP with the Detroit Tigers before joining the Pirates.

Management:

The manager of the 1947 Pittsburgh Pirates was Billy Herman.

Legacy:

While the 1947 season itself was not particularly successful for the Pirates, it marked the beginning of Ralph Kiner's remarkable career. Kiner's power-hitting abilities made him a key figure in the team's future, and he went on to win several home run titles during his time with the Pirates.

Despite their struggles in 1947, the Pittsburgh Pirates would go on to have more successful seasons in the coming years, including winning the World Series in 1960.
