The last man to catch the last out of a World Series in a Pittsburgh uniform is out himself.
Omar Moreno was told today by the Pirates he won't be brought back as a minor-league instructor, a source told DKPittsburghSports.com Tuesday evening. Moreno was called with the news earlier in the afternoon by Larry Broadway, the minor-league director under already-fired Neal Huntington.
Moreno, 67, was a special assignment coach, working with prospects at Class AAA Indianapolis, Class AA Altoona, Class A West Virginia, the Dominican Republic and, occasionally, with the major-league club at Clint Hurdle's invitation.
