On this episode, we're talking Pittsburgh Pirates with Graves (@KG_55VFTG). We talk about bad players, good players, and how recently frustrated Pirates fans have a lot to look forward to in the next few years. We talk about the total leadership overhaul and finding hope for the future in the minor leagues. We also talk about the incredible Roberto Clemente and what it means to have such a great man as part of the franchise. In the history section, we learn how the Pirates notched a lot of MLB firsts, including the infamous Dock Ellis LSD no-no, as well as Ellis's lasting positive impact on the sport as a whole.
