This date in #Pittsburgh #history: June 30, 2007. A group of irate #Pirate fans protested the franchise's 15 consecutive losing seasons on Federal Street across from PNC Park before the game. During the game, the group staged a walkout. Here are two of them: Jeff Schussler, left, and his brother, Jake, both from Houston, Pa. (Photo by John Heller/Post-Gazette)
