This page is dedicated to my favorite baseball team
- The Pittsburgh Pirates!
I just love going to Three
Rivers Stadium to watch the team play what we in
these parts like to call "Burghball." It's a real
tough, don't give in, but have fun in the
process type of baseball. The following is just some
info about and from the team
via their web site, and some other fun baseball links.
Let's Go Bucs!!
