That’s so ‘90s has become a phrase that we have all heard one way or another, as the styles and trends of the decade are making their way back into mainstream culture. Whether it be flannels with jeans and a Nirvana t shirt, kids collecting cassettes or retro basketball shoes, the ‘90s are making their way around the sun again in unique fashion. Along with those things is the resurgence of the ‘90s sport’s culture, and one team that fit strangely but memorably into that culture was the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Though not quite a decade of dominance for the club, the Pirates certainly had great success in the early part of the decade, but have burned twice as bright only to burn out twice as fast.
