<div>'''Spike Vrusho''' is a zine editor who lives in Kingston, New York where he drives a taxi and works as a freelance writer, mostly for the culture website www.splicetoday.com based in Baltimore.<br />
<br />
He has resisted transforming his dormant paper fanzine [[Murtaugh]] into another website or blog and continues to root for the Pirates despite the inexplicable preponderance of nerdy SABR-types who have somehow bullied their way into online baseball discourse. Blind allegiance to the farcical "Moneyball" and the corporate virus called fantasy baseball have ruined half of the game while the other 49% of the game festers with a gang greenous appendage last seen protruding from the side of Scott Boras' tassled loafers. "Kill them all, let Mel Ott sort them out" sez this particular bumpersticker affixed to a 1982 Audi Fox parked illegally in the ALCOA lot outside Three Rivers Stadium.<br />

Bud Selig should be made to wander the desert wearing a large, paper mache television head while the MLB reins are handed over to Mark Cuban or Zoilo Versalles or Oil Can Boyd or at least Jimmy Breslin. The festering, bloated bureacracy that is the Park Avenue-based MLB office should be forced to relocate to the last-place team's city every year, residing in a FEMA trailer and existing on barter arrangements with local businesses. Property is theft. Television money is even worse.<br />

<div>'''Murtaugh''' ran for 14 issues (from the mid-1980s through the late 1990s), edited by [[Spike Vrusho]] as an amalgam of [[punk]] rock and baseball angst based on the resilient career of former Pittsburgh Pirates manager Danny Murtaugh. <br />
<br />
It began in Columbus, Ohio, but boredom forced it to move to Brooklyn, NY and enjoy Red Hook and Williamsburg in the late 1980s. The unproduced Issue 14 was to feature the truck Billy Martin died in as presented by the voluptuous [[Queen Itchie]] in an eerie upstate New York setting.<br />
Vrusho produced a limited edition color All-Star version of '''Murtaugh''' which he sold outside Three Rivers Stadium at the 1994 MLB All-Star game, completely financing his Greyhound bus trip to Pittsburgh. Joe Garagiola was personally presented with an issue. Legendary commercial director Joe Pytka, a yinzer, was also presented with a Murtaugh t-shirt.<br />
<br />
Other celebrity ambushed readers included Jim Jarmusch outside Max Fish, Matrina Navratilova at Sugar Reef, a New York Yankees lawyer and former Bucco skipper Bill Virdon. '''Murtaugh''' and Vrusho were also featured in the pages of ''Pittsburgh'' magazine.<br />
<br />
Bands such as Cell, The Trick Babys, Mark Mothersbaugh, Idaho, Crawlpappy, The Hangdogs, the Astro Zombies and others were interviewed in the pages of Murtaugh. Cartoonist Tony Millionaire contributed a legendary strip called ''Batty'', which centered on a boozy geriatric player/manager. Other contributors included the graphic artist and Central Ohio survivor Shawn Wolfe, troublemaker Selwyn Harris, author Bart Plantenga, artists Jim Gibbs and Zeet Peabody, industry type D.R. Stewart, Central Ohio survivor Marc Blubaugh, printmaker Daisy DeCapite, visionary Jon Sarkin, cartoonist Sam Henderson, tornado-survivor David Johnson, industrial designer Stewart Verrilli, musicians Ray Ecke, David Lowe, left-wing rocker Matthew Grimm, artist Brian Krall, toy designer Eric Shank, comix enabler Helena Harvilicz, activist Nina Ascoly, drummer Kevin Baier, Brenda Starr-reincarnate Bonnie Pfister, the mask-wearing Bronx-based poet Prologue and the sultry Pittsburgh-born chemist Maura Mostowy who likes metal.<br />

<br />
Vrusho's first book, a humorous survey of baseball violence entitled "Benchclearing: Baseball's Greatest Fights and Riots" was published in March of 2008 by Lyons Press.<br />
