OPINION —
THE PITTSBURGH Pirates are mired in their 18th straight losing season, a major leagues record. It’s the most pathetic franchise in the history of the game. Pathetic unless you are one of the owners, that is.
For the last few years I’ve been writing that until the fans stop going to the games and stop buying Pirates gear, the owners will continue to put a poor product on the field. That’s because they were making money.
