It was opening day at McKechnie Field last spring training and a man gazed at the lineups on the large eraser board above the main stairway.
He talked about how cool it was to see the names of several young Pittsburgh Pirates up there, kids who had played Double-A in Altoona, Pa., his home, and how he looked forward to another season when he returned at spring training’s end.
Summer nights at a hometown ballpark.
I was envious.
But not anymore.
Not after hearing the Pirates plan to buy Sarasota’s Florida State League affiliate.
