Robert Nutting

Robert Nutting (born March 29, 1962 in Wheeling, West Virginia) is the Chairman of the Board and principal owner of the Pittsburgh Pirates baseball team. Nutting became the 6th principal owner in Pirates history, when he replaced Kevin McClatchy on January 12, 2007. Nutting has served as the Pirates Chairman of the Board since 2003 [http://pittsburgh.pirates.mlb.com/pit/team/exec_bios/nutting_robert.jsp] .

Fans of the Pirates have strongly criticized Nutting and McClatchy for failing to increase the team's payroll and make changes in the front office despite years of failure and increased income from baseball's television contracts and revenue-sharing system. The Pirates have suffered 16 straight losing seasons through 2008. Nutting made his first major move on September 7, 2007 when he fired general manager Dave Littlefield. He hired Frank Coonelly to take over for Kevin McClatchy as Team President, and allowed him to choose the new general manager, Neal Huntington.

Nutting and his family originally joined the Pirates ownership group in 1996. Nutting's father G. Ogden Nutting and his brother William Nutting also serve on the Pirates board of directors. Nutting and his family own Ogden Newspapers Inc. and Seven Springs Mountain Resort in Pennsylvania.

The Nuttings were ranked among the worst MLB owners by Sports Illustrated according to the Tribune Review newspaper http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/pittsburghtrib/s_519657.html
