Some cities take a lot of pride in their sports teams. Oftentimes they have unique celebrations or pre gane rituals. Sometimes they party or eat good food. Some places get rowdy. Myrtle Beach does a little bit of it all. When your whole team lives on a pirate ship you live by the big three Ps. Pillage. Plunder. Party. For away games the whole city of Myrtle Beach comes down to the marina and the most popping of parties takes place on the good ship. There is hardly room on board for all those who wish to participate! Because of this the team usually ends up finding those they deem unworthy and throwing them overboard. This is actually part of the tradition and maybe the most fun part of home games for the Buccs. Away games are a whole different story. This is where the pillage and plunder comes in. The team takes the good ship Myrtle Beach into enemy territory and raid the cities they are visiting. Portland, Tijuana and Norfolk are easy. Don't ask me how we got the ship to Minnesota or Kansas City, we were all blacked out and couldn't remember how we got there. We had to drink ourselves into oblivion just to remember how to get home again. We help ourselves to what we want while we're there, play ball and go home.
