I am. But as far as I can now tell, there was no such raining down of stripper greenbacks at a Pirates game in 1940. And evidently there is a "payroll blimp" term that I was totally unaware of, and that the current Pirates owner is associated with it, for not being willing to spend money toward putting out a competitive team, even with plenty of revenue to do so.

And to think I was so happy that little Tony Russo was able to finally get that Frigidaire for his mamma.


At least I spotted the bogus photo.
