The pirogies are like crack for my 3yo grand son.

Are the Pirates a harmful or addictive substance?

Like Baseball hasn't been doing that since the beginning of baseball. Ken Burns did a whole documentary series about it. And it;s a good one too!

46 years since the last WS championship, which is the longest drought in franchise history. The previous longest period between championships was 1925 to 1960.

*laughs in Seattle Mariners*

Hahahaha

Looking forward to seeing this 20 more times in my messages and group chats.

Baseball to children? What's next, toys?

Still bearing scars from the 1992 NLCS

I daren't let the commenters who seemingly don't realise that this is an Onion joke know that this is - in fact - an Onion joke, just in case they're actually doing a bit and are better at deadpan irony than me...

The shame of this is at one time, this was a model franchise. They won consistently and were the first franchise to field an all minority line up. Now they’re a joke that is ridiculed by the media and fans .

OMG! I laughed so hard. My husband is a Pirates fan . I had to send it to him.

Lollllll I’m contributing to this as I made my progeny a Pirates fan too. Hurt people, hurt people

Boy do I have egg on my face after buying tickets to see Skenes tonight.

you almost got me

Hilarious! Once again the Onion is spot on. I was a Red Sox fan early but luckily the curse was broken in my lifetime.

We are the chosen ones.

I laughed, then I cried.
