The Pittsburgh native and award-winning actor displayed his displeasure with the team on social media.
PITTSBURGH, PA — Pittsburgh native and award-winning actor Michael Keaton is frustrated with the Pirates, a team whose 3-13 record is the worst in the major leagues.
Keaton took to Twitter to blast the team's refusal to admit they are going through a rebuilding phase while being, potentially, one of the worst clubs in baseball history. Their winning percentage currently stands at .188.
You’re either rebuilding or you’re not!!!! Either do it or don’t Not that complicated Commit to something https://t.co/h4bM25vA4a
