Re: What does the "P" stand for on Pirate hats?
AE, hasn't anybody taught you that records can be deceiving, and that they are meaningless when the season hasn't begun. Hmm, Chestnut Ridge high school is 0-0 in the LHAC, and they didn't give up a single point to an LHAC team. Is that good defense? This team is also 0-0 in the NFL, and hasn't given up a single point to an NFL team. With an even record like that, could they beat the Carolina Panthers or the Miami Dolphins, both of which have lost 7 or 8 games? Do they have a better defense than those two teams since they haven't given up a point to an NFL team?
Not all teams are created equal, even if their record says otherwise.

Oh come on, you guys can't possibly think I was serious. I called her Smartypants! And I argued that the Pens are the best team in hockey because they haven't given up a goal yet. Lighten up.

Re: What does the "P" stand for on Pirate hats?
Actually, the P on the cap originally was a B. It stood for Buccaneers. During a bench clearing brawl against the Boston Braves in 1927 at Forbes Field, the bottom bulge of the B on manager Skip Toomaloo's cap fell off, causing the B to become a P. The rest is history.

Someone has a little too much time on their hands and likes to ruin or redundant game of rhetorical questions. . .

Re: What does the "P" stand for on Pirate hats?
where do you get your info from? The Pirates acquired there name becuz of a scandal in the 1891 where they tried to steal Lou Bierbaur from his previous club. The name Pirates stuck after that. They were previously named The Alleghanies and The Innocents. <weird name.
