A Nutting Interview
With baseball season about to begin, I sat down with Pirates owner Bob “Ka-Ching” Nutting for an interview on the state of the 2022 team.
WAM) So, what can be expect from the Pirates this year?
- BN) It’s a beautiful stadium. It has spectacular views of the city and river. Such a great night out for families or anybody really.
WAM) But, what about the team.
- BN) We’ll be giving away Hawaiian shirts, there will be plenty of fireworks nights. Pup night. You can bring your dog to the game. What dog wouldn’t want to spend a summer night at the most beautiful stadium in baseball?
WAM) What about the team? The people in this city are tired of all the losing. Do you realize, former Pirate Garrett Cole is among a handful of players who make more than your entire roster?
- BN) Am I a genius or what for getting rid of that guy? Do you know how much that would cost?
WAM) I realize it’s tough to compete with big market teams like the Yankees or Dodgers…
- BN) Can you imagine if I could get my hands on one of those teams? If I could take the Yankees or Dodgers and trim their payroll down to 35 million…Whoa Mama! Bobby needs a new boat baby!
