Here in Pittsburgh/western PA, fans noticed the detailed explanation offered by the Pirates seemed pre-written as if the Pirates were expecting blowback and prepared for it. I guess they didn't understand just how angry fans, and the Clemente family, would be.

Bob Nutting is the cheapest owner in all of professional sports. If replacing a sign honoring Clemente with an ad makes him a few more $s, he's all in.
