Romo Phone Home: Success!

In the spring of 1983, Pirates reliever Enrique Romo failed to report to camp. Attempts by the team to locate the enigmatic righty failed, and he was released. Similarly, for 20+ years, Pirates fans were unable to locate their once-proud franchise. This blog, last seen in September 2006, was the record of one father and son who nurtured the hope that one day Romo and the Pirates would phone home. That day arrived seven years hence, and now we are back. Enrique, we salute you, wherever you are.

Success!

From a comments thread at Honest Wagner:

Interesting DL radio show. He said point blank Freddy is the 3B and will not be replaced when Randa is ready to return.

Man bites dog; the Pirates do the right thing.

It would appear that lots of the things that were attributed to Lloyd and are still going on under Tracy may have been DL's fault all along.; 11:50 PM
