The smallest of the post-Camden parks, PNC Park was built to feel intimate and achieves that in spades. We were made to feel right at home after getting ribs from Manny's BBQ under the outfield bleachers. Manny Sanguillien was a 3-time all-star on the glorious 1970s Pirates teams and he signs autographs all night in front of his stand.
The grind of the road has caught up with both of us, so to be honest, we were looking for a mellow night. The crowd was small and subdued (probably from the team's 15-year streak of a losing record) and we got just what we wanted. The Pirates pitching was solid and the home team posted a rare win, 5-2.

Sadly, all good things must come to and end and tomorrow we've got one last drive to NYC. This trip has been unbelievable and I can't believe it's coming to an end. After a little sleep, we'll do a couple of follow up posts, including ranking the stadiums, and highs and lows of the trip. Thanks to those of you who took the time to read this thing. It's made the drive worth while.
xo,
Marty and Corky
