Pittsburgh Pirates photo day is a tradition that cant be missed. The Pirates do an exceptional job at putting together some very awkard photos that are used promotionally throughout the year.  And the really strange thing is the photos never die thanks to the internet and also RumBunter’s annual look at Pirates photo day.

Stetson Allie has rocked the 21 inch neck pose since he was drafted.  Seriously, Allie’s neck is bigger than some of the waists of women I have dated. But I must admit his neck beard is growing on me.
