  • Hitting a HR with the team?!?

    Glad to have found your pod… as a lifelong Pirate fan that was fortunate enough to be a little Bucco when they won in 79… it has been a struggle for most of the years since!!! You all bring a refreshing look to a team that needs quite a bit of squinting to see the positives. Keep up the great work and maybe just maybe we will be playing some games that count in October soon!!! Let’s go Bucs!!!
