Zombie-Meister Tapped to Run Pirates

Photo Three ZombiesPITTSBURGH – Zombie film director George Romero has been named the Pittsburgh Pirates’ General Manager, said team president Frank Coonelly. 

Coonelly said that Romero was picked because of his proven track record for raising the dead.

Romero said he’ll fit right in with the team because he is accustomed to working with personnel “who don’t move quickly and who don’t have much of a future.”
