Three Rivers Stadium was home of the Pittsburgh Pirates and the Pittsburgh Steelers for 30 years. Three Rivers Stadium opened its door on July 16, 1970. Three Rivers Stadium is the Place where Barry Bonds made his MLB debut on May 30th, 1986. He went 0-5 in the game in which the Pirates fell to the Dodgers 4-6. Bonds would spend all of his career years with the Pirates playing at Three Rivers. Bonds spent the first seven seasons of his career in Pittsburgh and helped the Pirates win the National League East in 1990, ’91 and ’92. The team lost in the National League Championship Series each of those years. After the 1992 season, which was the last winning season Pittsburgh had before 2013, Bonds joined the San Francisco Giants for the last 15 years of his career. Bonds ranks ninth on the club’s all-time list with 50.3 wins above replacement, according to Baseball-Reference. That puts him above Ralph Kiner (44.7), Bill Mazeroski (36.5) and Pie Traynor (36.3), all of whom have had their numbers retired. It also brings him within shouting distance of Willie Stargell, who posted just 57.5 WAR despite playing 14 more seasons here than Bonds did.
