There is something nice about being a Pittsburgh Pirate fan. When you go to a game you know your gonna lose. A win is an unexpected surprise.

I really don't care about the Yankees in the junior circuit with that stupid DH rule. Will admit I watch (on TV) with amazement how the Yankees fill their stadium and at such a high price for tickets.

I do love baseball and go to Bradenton (home of the Pirates) for spring training each year. Now that is fun at $6-$10 a ticket. And, you get to meet the players.

I know people who have shunned going to MLB games in order to go to minor league games - WAY cheaper, more family friendly and fun.

Our PNC Park is waaaaay nicer (cannot beat the skyline and homeruns hit into the River). Now if you want to complicate the issue with winning...well that’s another story...but PNC really is a ‘Cathedral to the Game.’
