Pirates

Our church organized an outing to watch a Pittsburgh Pirates baseball game. (At $10 per pax, plus a free beach towel each, it was a pretty good deal.) It was the 1st time we attended a professional sports event here. Although we "catch no ball" when it comes to baseball, the atmosphere in the stadium was a fun experience for us. Might have been even more enjoyable had the Pirates played a better/winning game that night. The Pirates lost 2-5 that night to the Houston Astros - but they bounced back to defeat the Astros in the next 2 games.


The stadium has Pittsburgh downtown and Allegheny River as a backdrop, providing a pretty nice view:
