Kly, you're right about the Pirates. The same thing happened last season. In addition, they run hot and cold.

Nice experience for your son. Along those lines, when I was a kid my Dad arranged through a friend for me to meet with Bobby Bragan who managed the Pirates. He gave me an autographed baseball. But for the life of me I can't remember if it was autographed by the Pirates or the Houston Colts. He was a coach with the Colts for awhile. In any case, I don't know what happened to that ball, but it would probably be worth a small fortune today.
