This article on the shadowy Nutting family was a weird one for me, as the Nuttings are based in my hometown and the article features quotes from at least a couple people who know me or my family. If, like most Pirates fans, you're concerned with what will happen to the Pirates' payroll as the Nuttings gain power, this article will do little to comfort you. A quote from Sam Amico, who used to edit the sports section of one of the Nuttings' Wheeling newspapers, compares them to Donald Sterling of the Clippers, suggesting that their first concern is to avoid spending money.
