The Pittsburgh Pirates Fan Page!

I'm not really a baseball fan... HOWEVER, growing up in Puerto Rico (and in the same town where he was from) there is one name that you learn to almost revere and is most synonymous with our collective historic pride: #21, Roberto Clemente. (so I guess by default I am somewhat of a Pirates fan??)

Welcome aboard!
 
How about a previous Pirates fan page? I stopped being a fan in the early 90s after the Braves beat up on them in the playoffs. This actually made me become a Braves fan for quite some time while the Pirates wouldn’t record a winning season for 20+ years. I despise the ownership as they are content being a “farm” team and making their money off the profit sharing. When they got rid of McCutchen, I realize the ownership is still under the spell of profits first.
I lived in Pittsburgh during the late 2000s and went to a couple games. They have a nice stadium...and that’s all I have to say about that...(Pirates win by losing, financial documents show )
I did become a pretty avid Penguins fan during my time there as that ownership and the players are more about wanting to win and win big. I know they had an off season this year, but they will make changes and get new players (and pay for them) in order to do better next year.

And @Cutch22 is advertising he’s a Phillys fan with his username...McCutchen has played for the Pirates for over a year now.
Welcome aboard. However, we could use a little more enthusiasm... :)
