Bonds and Bonilla leaving the Pirates killed that team...they survived Bonilla and had one more kick at the can...The Pirates were a great team to watch back then...young stars..Bonilla, Bonds, Van Slyke, Jay Bell...nice charachter guys...Chico Lind, Spanky Lavilliere, Steve Buechele, an Ace SP..Doug Drabek...and the ugliest 1-2 SP combo in league history...Zane SMith and Bob Walk..Free agency decimated this team after 3 NLCS losses...Baseball in Pittsburgh has never been the same...I still rememner, sitting in my dorm room in 1992..Binghamton U..waiting to get World Series Tix, when that POS Francisco Cabrera knocked in the slowest man in league history..Sid Bream...
