All about those dollars.

Something so wrong about this.

Disgusting.

I found this to be insulting: “Roberto Clemente is more than a Hall-of-Fame player to us,” the statement read. “His legacy helps define who we are as an organization."

The Pirates organization is the exact antithesis of Roberto Clemente the man.

Was the sign really just put there in 2022? Was there some meaning imputed to it? The whole wall was the monument, I thought.

Can’t the city put some pressure on this disgusting ownership. The city owns PNC Park. I know the Pirates probably have the rights to advertising but this is a blatant desecration of a civic treasure for greed. City should tell Nutting to take the advertisement down or we will increase the rent

Aren’t you glad that you aren’t the guy who had to read that to press? I’d have puked in the middle of it.

Right now Nutting is probably hollowing out the Clemente statue and selling the shavings as scrap metal.
“ The Clemente statue was never intended to be a solid representation of our once great Hall of Fame right fielder. The intention was always to hollow out the statue and cut a slot in the back of the head so children could place loose change into Clemente helping the team raise money. The Pirates are sorry that we didn’t communicate this expectation earlier And that there was any misunderstanding between management and fans.“

The sign was put back in it's original place today along with an apology.

An apology coming from these guys is meaningless and empty.

[JollyRoger8]

Who ever came up with the idea in the first place(Willians?) should be fired immediately.
