Fuckin nomar is OCD with the shit. 77rednecktruck: the person who goes to a MLB game in pittsburgh or what you call “fan” doesnt give a rats ass if a game is even goin on. The stupidity at the ticket windows on a nightly basis is astounding. People will keep coming to because of fireworks and concerts… bobble heads dont really draw anymore.
