Pittsburgh Pirates Fans: Why So Serious?
As somebody who has had season tickets for the Pittsburgh Pirates since I was born 20 years ago, went to his first game as a one-month-old infant and has sat through 18 (could soon be 19) losing seasons, I understand the hardships that baseball fans in Pittsburgh have had to deal with.
When I was coming into my high school years, I didn’t merely like the Pittsburgh Pirates. I wasn’t just a season ticket holder, who was born into it after my parents first got them in 1994. No, being a fan wasn’t enough for me. I had to live and die by whether the Pirates won or lost.
