I'm sure many of you know how that game ended dramtically, but I wanted to link this video in case you didn't know.
As a Pirate fan, I have to admit thinking about this hits me two ways. It's fun to look back at the past era and see how my favorite baseball team pulled a shocker and beat the big bad Yankees. At the same time, it saddens me to think we may never have another moment like this for Pirate baseball ever again.
There's an entire generation of Pirate fans out there today that have no idea what playoff baseball and pennant fever are like around here. One of my cousins is in her second year of college. She's never seen a winning season of baseball.
That's pretty pathetic if you ask me, and I guess I'll continue to hope that maybe baseball gets a commissioner with a set on him who will stand up and do what's right for the sport to make it competitive.
Until that happens, and it may NEVER happen, I'll just continue to enjoy the good times in this storied franchise's history. I'll continue to hope that more good times are ahead.
Let's Go Bucs!!!
