This is less of a gesture than a Derek Jeter "thanks for the [expletive]" gift basket.

Btw, this is some good investigative journalism on the Pirates situation. Because their stadium is publicly financed and operated by a public sports authority, the local paper there was able to FOIA financial information (which the Pirates fought for two years) on stadium revenues.

https://www.post-gazette.com/sports/pir ... 2204100006

The short answer is that the Pirates' payroll is in most (if not all) years covered by ticket sales and concessions. So the $100mil that the Pirates' owner gets from TV revenue, and the $30mil+ they get in revenue sharing, is gravy.

And this should stop all owner-defending arguments on increasing payroll for baseball purposes, etc.

Bob Nutting sucks.
