Personal: My name is Wes, I'm married with two wonderful children. The nickname BaldNSpicy came from the fact that I have been balding for a (long) while now and spicy for my love of very spicy foods (Thai and extremely hot wings are my favorites). If eating doesn't bring me near tears and leave me sweating, it's not worth eating. :-)
Oh, and I'm also known for my doorags.

game. I love knowing the primo ticket guy in the sales organization that always hooks me up with great seats when I need them (thanks Steve!) Now if the Pirates could stay over 500 past the first 10 games...17 losing seasons won't look good on the 'ol resume. Surely they understand there's a recession and that losing your job, even as a "professional" ball player doesn't make you immune to living on the streets.
