@HalsaverRob@KodyDuncanPGH Scenario here: You grew up in Pittsburgh, huge Pirates fan
The Pirates offer you 10 mil a year
The Yankees offer you 25 mil a year
Which offer would you realistically take?
It’s less about the players choosing where to play & more about who can afford to pay them the most
@KodyDuncanPGH In the NFL the favorites to land a guy are usually based on team needs. In the MLB, the favorites are just the teams that can back up a Brinks truck to their front door
@LouisEnthusias@nathan_osler A. Canada does suck. B. Baseball is way more of a team sport than hockey. Don’t get me wrong you can’t surround a superstar in hockey with shitters and win a cup. But you won’t win in baseball with 1 great player and a bunch of average dudes
Lemieux and Crosby don’t have the all time home run record either. Barry Bonds is probably the GOAT of baseball imo whereas Crosby and Lemieux (although Lemieux would’ve had a case for GOAT if he could’ve stayed healthy) were not GOATs in their respective sports. Go home silly Canadian.
@LouisEnthusias@nathan_osler Wait hold on a second. You said he spent 1 season of his prime in Pittsburgh. Now you’re brushing off the fact that you were full of shit and don’t know ball to say that he didn’t win a ring.
@LouisEnthusias@nathan_osler Barry Bonds, Roberto Clemente, Honus Wagner, Ben Roethlisberger, Jerome Bettis, Joe Greene, Jack Hamm, Troy Polamolu. How many of those are Canadian? Crosby & Lemieux were Canadian, Jagr wasn’t. So 2 of Pittsburghs greatest athletes were Canadian?
@SteelCityBucs30 I don’t fuckin understand how this dude says the Pirates have no fan base but literally made a twitter account “Pirates Prospects” for the Pirates’ fan base to follow prospects and moves on
@SteelCityBucs30 Someone said in one comment section that if you have a players’ picture as your PFP, you have to have parody account or fan account in your bio or it’s pretty much an auto suspension if someone reports
