Buccos' season comes to an end but the possibilties only begin.

Thank you Pittsburgh Pirates for a wonderful season and bringing back so many good memories. You see this keychain. It's from 1988. I carry it everyday. It was from the last Pirates game my Dad and I attended before he was diagnosed with cancer. One of the first childhood memories of my Dad was him playing baseball and the last memories of him was of us watching the Pirates during the '92 season. He passed away that July and never saw the playoffs.

This season lifted the spirits of many fans like myself--in a time when a lot of unsettling things are going on in this world, ...for this you should be proud. Looking forward to 2014! #thankyoubucs #Buctober2014

Boys of Buctober, let's do it! Bring it back home to the Burgh!

I was sorting through some of my photos from a 2012 Pirates home game and this one caught my eye. Wanting to capture the spirit of the fans, I didn't realize I had our World Series years in the frame. And yes, I mean "our" World Series years. That's one thing I've always admired about the Pittsburgh Pirates (even more so this year) how much the fans mean to the team and vice versa. Whether the Pirates make to the final series this year or not, the fans are behind you either way and appreciate the positive spirit the team has brought to this season after so many years.

So tonight in St. Louis, Boys of Buctober, LET'S DO IT and bring it home to the Burgh riding the Cole Train. Generations later, we still believe. Let's go Bucs!
