I love a good underdog story.
It’s for that reason that I love the city of Pittsburgh.
Most of my attachment these days to this city comes from running this site on the Pittsburgh Pirates.
I was born in central PA, living in the Altoona area for the first 12 years of my life. My Dad is from Pittsburgh and my mom is from Baltimore, and they got married a year after the 1979 World Series. I grew up an Orioles and Cal Ripken Jr. fan. However, Pittsburgh was always “the city” to me, and we went often.
