Later on, a guy bought it and named it after himself. Where is it? Actually, not that it makes much difference in finding the answer, but the aphrodisiac was first, then the unfortunate pirates.

    This member of Major League Baseball's 3,000 Hit Club hit a key Game 7 World Series home run against Baltimore on his way to leading the Pittsburgh Pirates to their fourth World Series championship and earning Series MVP honors.
