Pirates pull a crowd shortfall worries Leyland
Pittsburgh Pirates manager Jim Leyland voiced concern over dwindling attendance. He called the four game series with Cincinnati a disgrace as Three Rivers Stadium drew 99 191 fans. With a 20 418 average the team would reach 1.66 million, far below last year’s 2.08 million. He warned the Pirates’ future in the city could be at risk.
