Pittsburgh Pirates: When one window closes

In the city of bridges, the Steel City: Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the baseball team on the North Shore, the Pittsburgh Pirates, have seen better days. In a 60-game 15k this year — a year in which anything was supposedly possible — the Pirates had one of their worst seasons ever, finishing in the top-5 of their worst winning percentages.

Pittsburgh finished 19-41 (.317), which secured the worst record in baseball — as well as the number one pick. All four of the Pirates’ National League Central divisional pals made it into the playoffs, the only division to get four teams in.
