IrateFans to Attend Monday’s Live Broadcast

From IrateFans.com:

Members of the grassroots movement IrateFans will be in attendance when ESPN Radio’s nationally syndicated “Mike and Mike in the Morning” show broadcasts live from Pittsburgh’s SoHo restaurant from 6 to 10 a.m. Monday, July 10, 2006. Hosts Mike Greenberg and Mike Golic will broadcast from the restaurant, located on Federal Street across the street from PNC Park, as part of Major League Baseball’s 2006 All Star Game festivities.

“There’s no better time to draw attention to the plight of the Pittsburgh Pirates baseball fan than in the next few days, when hundreds of the world’s leading baseball reporters gather in Pittsburgh to cover the All Star Game and its related events,” said event coordinator and media contact Ed Costello.

IrateFans is calling for the team’s current ownership group to make an honest effort to field a winning team or, failing that, to sell the team as soon as it feasibly can. The group believes that nothing less than an authentic commitment to winning baseball would serve to repay the team’s fans, the citizens of the region and of the state for everything they have done for Kevin McClatchy and his partners.

More than 400 people have already purchased IrateFans tee shirts. Additionally, the IrateFans web site (www.iratefans.com) has received more than 22,000 site visits since it was launched a little more than a month ago.
