Pittsburgh Pirates Preview History
2008 Season
The Pittsburgh Pirates are one of the few small market teams left in Major League Baseball. This adds a challenge for them to attract big talent with less money, but it also provides the team with a rabid fan base and an underdog status the team is more than happy to wear with pride. The Pirates are happy to prove people wrong when they make a big run at the MLB Playoffs this season. With the team's ownership changes, young talent, and what is widely considered to be the best ballpark in all of baseball, Pittsburgh fans and visitors to PNC Park are in for a real treat. The leadership of Freddy Sanchez and Jason Bay will make the Pittsburgh Pirates a team to watch and a tough team to beat.
