I was born in 86 so literally my first memory of the Pirates is Sid Bream. Followed by..this.
The pirates have zero championships of any kind since 92…so how is that a D but regular season success (where at least we had the 2013-15 run) is an F?
Even playoff success more generally, we have the Cueto game. Not much, but infinitely more than zero championships
How are championships a D? They haven’t even one a division title in over 30 years. If you add the Steelers and Pens the overall is a B plus
F-minus? How about an N? Or an R? Isn’t there some level below F?
I ran the numbers for the same time but with Pens and Steelers added. It really shows how well those two franchises have done in the past three decades compared to how poorly the Buccos have done.
I’m now curious to find the saddest sports town in America. My gut says Cincy but I may be biased against the reds and bengals
