Note: However, things weren't so rosy off the field for the Pirates, who left Port Huron midway through the second season for Flint, only to have attendances go from bad to worse. Here's a column I wrote after the team's unceremonious exit from town. This ran June 21, 2007.
One thing that Josh Reasoner said to me about a year ago has been sticking in my head lately.
I asked the then-president of the Port Huron Pirates if the team would be sticking around for the offseason in the Blue Water Area.
"No," he said. "We came in like Pirates, and we're going out like Pirates."
Now, as the team sets sail down I-69 to head to Flint, the former team president's words seem prophetic.
