First off, a very happy Thanksgiving to everyone out there. Most Pittsburgh Pirates fans aren’t thinking about baseball today, but I thought I’d keep baseball near and dear to our hearts today and share a few things we should all be thankful for as Pirates fans.
For as good of a baseball team that we have in the city of Pittsburgh, many fans tend to focus on the negatives. They look at the back-to-back Wild Card game losses as abrupt finishes to otherwise fantastic seasons. They complain about the payroll of the team and the unwillingness of ownership to spend gobs of money to improve the team.
