Eighteen teams are vying to represent the Pirates franchise during Season 4. I've gotten through 50 games (out of 136, IIRC).  To update all my loyal followers, here's what the top of the standings looks like:
Team        W    L    Pct.    GB
1901          35  14    .714    -
1991          32   18 .640  3.5
1960         30    19  .612  5
1909        29    21  .580 6.5
1902         28  22  .560  7.5
1972         26  24   .520 9.5
1975         26  24    .520  9.5
1970        25    25   .500  10.5
I was expecting the 1902 team to be the winners, there's still plenty of time left.  The 1991 team is certainly hanging in there, though...
In terms of individual leaders, Fred Clarke of 1903 is leading with a .392 average, Bob Robertson from 1970 and Willie Stargell from 1971 both have 12 home runs, and Jake Beckley form 1893 has 56 RBI.  On the pitching side, Vern Law and Bob Friend of the 1960 team and Deacon Phillipe from 1901 all have 8 wins. Ed Brandt from 1938 has an ERA of 1.13 (though he's unlikely to get enough innings over the whole season to qualify), and 1902's Jack Chesbro leads with 60 strikeouts.
