His first full season came in 1969, when he batted .285 with 17 home runs and 70 RBIs, finishing second in the National League Rookie of the Year voting.

Oliver quickly developed into an important part of Pittsburgh's lineup, playing alongside legendary teammates such as Roberto Clemente, Willie Stargell, Bill Mazeroski, and Manny Sanguilln.

In 1971, Oliver helped the Pirates capture the World Series championship, defeating the Baltimore Orioles in seven games. That championship remains one of the defining accomplishments of his career and an important chapter in Pittsburgh baseball history.
