Raul Rolls Out the Welcome Mat

Welcome to Raul Mondesi's House! Written by a lifelong Pittsburgh sports fan, who gets to experience the highs of a Super Bowl championship and the lows of 14 consecutive years of losing baseball simultaneously. This site is dedicated to former Pittsburgh Pirate outfielder Raul Mondesi, and his brilliant scheme to find his way out of Pittsburgh in little more than a month in 2004. Often overshadowed by Derek Bell's infamous "Operation Shutdown" in 2002, the Mondesi signing gets much less attention than it deserves. We are here to fix that, and keep you posted on our musings of all things Pittsburgh. Steelers, Pirates, Penguins, Panthers, and especially my radio role model, Mark Madden will be discussed on a regular basis. So on behalf of Raul and everyone at Raul Mondesi's House, we say "acepto"! (or "welcome" to you Americans).
