Pittsburgh Pirates Game
  Last night the Pittsburgh Pirates faced off against the Los Angeles Dodgers.  The Dodgers star pitcher, Clayton Kershaw, had 37 scoreless innings in a row.  The first pitch Kershaw threw was a home run by Gregory Palanco.  There goes the scoreless inning streak for Clayton!   Before the game, we took pictures with the statues of Roberto Clemente, Honus Wagner, and Willie "Pops" Stargell.  As the game went on there was a two out bases loaded situation with the Pirates up at bat.  So, all the Pirates fans started a chant saying "Clayton Kershaw" and Kershaw walked the batter to drive in a run and keep the bases loaded and PNC Park went crazy with fans screaming all over the place and jumping up and down because they tied the game on that run; after that run scored the "Clayton Kershaw" chant became bigger and bigger.  That night for dinner I had my first ever Pirmontti Brothers sandwich.  The Pirmontti sandwiches have meat, cole slaw and fries all on fresh cooked bread.  It could have been the best sandwich I ever had, so if you are ever in Pittsburgh be sure to get one! In between innings, we played a game called Mound Ball.  Mound Ball is played between innings where everyone your with and sometimes people around you get in on the action, too.  Everyone throws a dollar into a hat and the last guy in the row who is playing holds the hat with the money.  After the third out the player on the field who has the ball last rolls it back to the mound for the pitcher coming up next.  If the ball stays on the mound in the dirt not touching grass, the person holding the hat wins the pot.  If the ball rolls off or doesn't make the mound the person holding the hat loses and the hat is passed to the person next to him to hold for the end of the next half inning.  I won five bucks! Now, the game is tied and goes into extra innings.  In the bottom of the tenth with bases loaded Pedro Alvarez was up and the Dodgers brought in the right fielder to play as a second baseman.  Then Pedro Alvarez hit the ball into right field where there was no one to field it and the runner on third came in to score and win! After that, the entire Pirates team chased down Pedro Alvarez into the outfield to where he hit the ball and the stadium screamed for five minutes going bonkers with fireworks going off in the outfield.  It was a great fan experience with an extra inning.  PNC Park was excellent and I would highly recommend visiting it to anyone- Pirates fan or not.
