Great time at PNC Park
Managed to make my way from everything 'Cincinnati Red' and travelled to the 'Burgh for a game at PNC Park last Friday night.

The Bucs hosted a Social Media night on the Deck and gave a away t-shirts and other prizes throughout the pre-game. All four Pirate announcers stopped by and I got to chat with each guy. I reminded Walk that I had bought him an adult pop during his playing days when the Bucs were in Cincy.

The highlight for me, however, was meeting Steve Blass and getting his autograph on a late 60's - early 70's official American League baseball. Just like one they would have used in the 1971 World Series. We had a laugh on how much money he would have made in today's market after pitching two complete games, including the 7th game, in a World Series. By the way, Steve only gave up 7 hits total over those two games.

The Bucs won 4-3 with Hammer getting the final strikeout in front of a sold out crowd. It was a great trip.

Glad you had a great trip man. Did Walk remember you buying him an adult pop?

Hope you can make it back sometime.

I'll bet those guys are having the time of their lives this year as commentators. It's seriously exciting stuff happening in nearly every game and I'll bet that even they weren't ready for a pennant race this year.
