I became a Pirates fan when they won the World Series in 1960 with the Maz’s homerun. I know everybody likes a winner, but I was only 7 years old. My hero was Roberto Clemente. But since the early 90s, the Pirates have become basically a minor league team. I remember a few years ago their total player payroll was less than $30M, about the same as one single player from the Yankees (A-Rod)

Nice of the Pirate owners to give their fans a winner, or even a chance of a winner. $30 Million payroll? What is the share of TV money? Are they pocketing the cash and stiffing the fans?
