Pittsburgh’s sports teams are taking a cue from Hollywood and cranking out a disappointing 1990s remake right now.
The Steelers are coming off an upset loss as the No. 2 seed in the AFC playoffs. The Penguins are mourning a championship streak ended at two. And the Pirates? They’ll be watching another former MVP outfielder step onto their home field as a member of the San Francisco Giants Friday night.
It’s like the disconcerting spring of 1993 all over again, except Andrew McCutchen’s return to PNC Park will probably play out a little differently than Barry Bonds’ first tour as a visitor did a quarter century ago.
