Peter Gammons says nice things about us but is still old and confused

Peter Gammons writes a bit about mid/small market teams that aren't planning on selling this year. We're included. Dave Littlefield gives us this nice quote:

"In years past," says Littlefield, "we had to move contracts and get our payroll down. We got it down $20 million. Now we're right where we have to be. We don't have to move payroll, our attendance is up 20 percent and we now want to start winning. There is no one we have to move..."

Gammons does have trouble getting his facts straight though:

To those in New York and Boston whose theme songs are "Death or Glory," .500 doesn't seem like much. But if you're Dave Dombrowski and your Tigers haven't been .500 since 1993, Dave Littlefield and your Pirates have had one winning season since Barry Bonds left in 1992 or Doug Melvin and your Brewers have had losing seasons since '92, it means plenty.

One winning season since '92? Exactly when was that Pete? That blackhole year of 1997.5?
