I plan on taking in a game at PNC Park this summer and was just wondering about how the rows are numbered. I would prefer to sit behind either dugout in the infield box sections 110-113 or 120-123. What exactly is the letter order do they start at A and work there way back through the...
Got my ticket for June 1st, Section 5, Row B, Seat 1 (bringing game-used batting gloves to get signed). I'm finally checking out PNC (and it's not like I'm far away, only about two hours). If anyone can pass along any inexpensive places to park it would be appreciated.

Hi Pirate fans, I recently found this a website that shows photos of the World Series and League Championship rings. http://http://stadiumpage.com/WSRings/ Most of the symbolism on the rings I can figure out, but I can't figure out part of 1979 Pirates ring. If you click on the 1979 ring and...
This past summer, I went to pittsburgh on a sports trip, to see the pirates. I know that pittsburgh is extremely proud of the steelers and the pens, but what happened to all the love and pride in pirates baseball? I know this franchise used to be one of the greatest and most respected franchise...

I'm just wondering...what type of numbers or who is McCuthen going to compare to in say 2 years from now.
I am a Cardinals' fan, but I like the Pirates. (I especially admire PNC Park.) What is up with the Pirate franchise? I remember them as a proud and good team, even into the late '80's. Do they just trade away all their decent players, once they get developed a bit? What's up? I thought...
