Ever wonder what happened to the good ole past time of baseball. I have decided to forget about what is going on in 2008 and live in the past. I want to live the 1909 Pittsburg Pirate season, you know when things seemed simpler. There weren't performance enhancing substances. If you were talented and worked harder than the other guy you usually won.
1909 didn't have a lot of people hitting the big bombs and they didn't look like todays freaks of nature. I wonder what Dot's Miller was like or Fred Clarke. How about Honus Wagner or Babe Adams. Just want a chance to sit on the bench for one of those games.
I have been trying to amass a card collection of the team. It is slow going because they are expensive. But the callenge is fun. I will post more later. I will also post some pictures.
