i used to follow the...

Pittsburgh Pirates.. They are my favorite baseball team, but I haven't kept up with them since the Drabek/Bonds days.. So, LONG time.. I grew up a Roberto Clemente fan and got to see him and the rest of the gang play a 17 inning game against Houston when I was a kid.. Had a Roberto Clemente autographed 8x10 that my brother stole and ebayed.. Bought him a two week trip to Paris.. I have never forgiven him for that.. He also sold an autographed Willie Stargell 8x10, Al Oliver, Manny Sanguine and several others..

Back in my kid days you could send a letter to "Pittsburgh Pirates, Pittsburgh Pennsylvania" and ask for a schedule and they'd send signed 8x10's.. Rams sent me some cool goodies, as well.. I always hated the Cowboys, but my mom loved them, so I sent them a letter for a schedule.. they are the ONLY team that ONLY sent a schedule..

I know I've posted all this info before - just got bored..
