Eric Wolff
Executive Board Liasson

Pittsburgh Pirates

  He was born in Peoria in 1969
For the first several years everything was fine

He went to college in the heat of Tucson
After he received a diploma he moved on

He did his internship in Anaheim
Rod Murray did not pay him a dime

After one year with the Padres he had enough
The Friars kicked him out on his duff

The Yankees were his next home
He got yelled at daily by John Franzone

Moving to Pittsburgh seemed like a groovy notion
In 15 years he hasn’t had a promotion
