I was never much of a Pittsburgh Pirates fan growing up.
I don’t really remember the Barry Bonds throw to try and get Sid Bream at the plate.
I didn’t follow the 1997 Freak Show. At all.
The Pirates were my most local team, spending the first 12 years of my life in central PA. I enjoyed going to games with my family, and I was in the upper deck of the Home Run Derby at the All-Star Game in 1994 when Ken Griffey Jr. put on a show. After I left for Virginia, I didn’t really follow them.
