Day 84 – PNC Park

Nothing special today, just walking around seeing the sites of Pittsburgh. It was a night game so I made my way to the ballpark via the Roberto Clemente Bridge. They actually close down the bridge to vehicle traffic before the game and keep it closed until after the game. It is a very nice ballpark, great sightlines. You can walk around the outfield concourse and you are walking basically right along the river. They have a little section where they have statues to honour some of the great Negro league stars.

I got a pretty cool giveaway for this game, a Roberto Clemente collectible plate. The funny thing was on the plate it has a note stating “Not for Food Use. May Poison Food”. It was Roberto Clemente night and they had Roberto’s wife and kids there to accept Roberto’s All Time Rawlings Gold Glove award.
