Pittsburgh Pirates’ fans that are fans of owner Bob Nutting are few and far between. Nutting and his group have been the primary owners of the franchise since 2007, and he has been the focus of hatred and disgust form Pirate fans ever since.
The disdain many fans feel for Nutting’s ownership group has grown to all-time highs the past two seasons. This is due to the Pirates posting back-to-back losing seasons after making the postseason in 2013, 2014, and 2015.
The anger with Bob Nutting is not completely his fault. After all, baseball is a sport where small market teams like the Pittsburgh Pirates are set up to fail.
