Note = the expos have drafted 2 dummy hitters (at least 2 anyway ) because they intend to play 12 pitchers and 13 hitters. I will delete the 2 dummies and add my 2 additional franchise pitchers as soon as the league is formed. The dummies are not players eligible for 1979 to the best of my knowledge.

1979 World Champion Pirates had We Are Family by Sister Sledge (written by Nile Rodgers of Chic) as their theme song.

As an Orioles fan, that is one of my least favorite songs of all time.
