From The Onion all the way back in 2006:

After five years of serving Pittsburgh as their state-of-the-art sporting facility, PNC Park, the home of the rundown, poorly maintained Pirates, said Tuesday it is threatening to leave Pittsburgh unless a new team can be built within the next three years.

I can kinda see his point. They kicked him off of third base and told him to put away his glove.

I imagine there’s an element of pride in play.
