I also kinda followed the Pirates too but never was a true fan. Though i did enjoy the WS when they beat Baltimore because my brother is an obsessive Oriole fan. As a kid I also liked the Angels until they signed Reggie when I gave them up. Always hated the Yankees and never really liked the mets either. Was a closet Expos fan but it was hard to follow them.

I remeber Jimmy Wynn, the toy cannon. He once got an offseason job as a beer taster and showed up to spring training 30 pounds overweight.

An amazing player right up there with the greats..but I really don't think fans know that much about.


He moved to Cleveland after his playing days were over.
