I am a lifelong Pittsburgh resident and Pirates fan. I received a marketing degree from the University of Pittsburgh in 2006. I began blogging about the Pirates in September 2006 at Wait ‘Til Next Year, and joined Pittsburgh Lumber Co. in September 2007. At 26 years old, my memories of winning baseball in Pittsburgh are very limited. But I will be there when the Pirates finally reach the pinnacle, and nothing will be sweeter than that triumph.
