The #1 song in America was "End Of The Road" by Boyz II Men. (How appropriate!)

It's a shame. For a span of 1975-1993 the Pirates and Phillies used to play some epic battles and the stadium would be filled with opposing teams' fans.

I think there was a game in 1993 when Kevin Stocker hit a walkoff homer in the bottom of the 16th to win 1-0 and Bob Walk and Curt Schilling each pitched 11 or 12 innings.

But the crazy part was the game was only like 4 hours (very short for a 16 inning game).

Who cares?

I suffered long enough to give two squirts about anyother franchise...

Twins Territory sucked from about 1992-2001.

Bengals fan here.

You'll get no tears from me in terms of poor play for years.

It's probably payback for "We are Family", choose your theme music more carefully next time.

Yeah really, did "We Are Family" just edge out "Its Raining Men" in a poll for a theme song? They should have been wearing rainbow uniforms.

The Pirates haven't been relevant since Sid Bream slid into home and made a young skinny Barry Bonds sit down in the outfeild with the gas face...lol

Actually 1992, G Man. The 93 team was favored (some thought they'd dethrone the Jays) to win the East but a certain upstart group of hooligans from the other side of the state shocked the world Needless to say I don't think the 93 Pirates won more than 80 games and it was the begining of the end so to speak.
And the worst part of the "We are family" era was that Sister Sledge was from Philly! That's right. Pittsburgh was jocking Philly before New York stole water ice and the Roots. Thieves!

In the name of keeping the peace, to say nothing of diplomacy, you may have them back. With all appropriate apologies.
