2025 Pittsburgh Pirates

I don’t remember that, but if I had pirate tickets I’d gladly exchange them for a loaf of Town Talk.

 

I thought Forbes Field was dry.

 

never sold beer at Forbes Field.

 

Seeing how I was a very young boy, beer held no interest for me. My first beer at a Pirate game was at PNC.

 

I lived in Shadyside and we would walk to the games as kids. When I got older and went back to visit the Burgh I was shocked at just how long that walk was. We drove and checked the odometer and it was about 5 miles. No damn way I'm walking that now. My little golf course is about a 3 mile walk but benches at every hole and I'm resting a lot.

 

Yeah, my Aunt would have 3 of us in tow riding city bus from Dravosburg down into Pittsburgh.
Good times

 

When I go back home and look at the distances I used to walk, I am amazed

 

I'm certain the expression "I had to walk uphill to school - both ways" came from a kid growing up in Pittsburgh. When I was back as an adult, I was out of breath DRIVING up some of those hills over in Castle Shannon that I used to walk every day and sometimes twice for Scouts and Little League.

 

Must have been the aroma of beer farts from pre-game visitors to Gustines. Funny, cigars galore back then but no beer and now plenty o beer but no cigars (at least in LA).

 

Apparently this past weekend was the Buc players' response to the Adam Frazier trade and getting ready for the house cleaning party over the next 2 weeks.
