My wife surprised me with tickets for the Pirates game this afternoon. The game was plagued by bad weather, but managed to get it in with about a 25 minute late start and one rain delay. The highlight of the game was one that had most Pirate fans worried as Andrew McCutchen took a fastball off the elbow. Thankfully xrays were negative and it looks like he won't miss much more than a game. The Pirates would go on and win the game 8-4.
I had great seats right behind home plate. As you can see the clouds were rather ominous.
A more panoramic view.
It was Marte bobble head day so that was an extra bonus. The bad thing is the rain pretty much destroyed the box, so I'll probably just have to display the piece on my desk.
I had been on a small losing streak at games so it was nice to break the streak. Nice to witness a convincing win. It would be nice if the Cardinals would lose a game every once in awhile, but at least the Pirates are pretty secure in the Wild Card Standings.
Thanks for reading.
Great seats! Always nice when the home team wins.
ReplyDeleteIt is! I had been on a losing streak so it was nice to chalk one up.
DeleteRain rain go away, I'm seeing a game today.
ReplyDeleteThe rain was rough. I thought this one might be in jeopardy, but the worst part of the rain was before the game.
DeleteAwesome seats. That is a very well done stadium, and looks like you had a perfect view of the entire thing.
ReplyDeleteThe stadium is beautiful. It was done perfectly.
DeleteWould love to make it to that stadium one day, the best team definitely won today, I had to turn it off after that steal of home.....
ReplyDeleteThe Pirates try that play every now and again. Cutch did it against the Cubs a couple years back.
DeleteI've been to over twenty MLB stadiums and PNC still tops my list. That's an awesome view from your seats!
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping to get to San Francisco next year. That is the only one that I've heard some people say is nicer than PNC.
DeleteI can't wait to catch a Pirates home game. What a gorgeous park! Now that I'm living up in the Big Mitt, I hope explore the northern states extensively. As a fan of history, Pennsylvania is already on a priority list.
ReplyDeleteYou will love PNC. The views from the stadium are great.
