Great Ballpark, Horrible Game

Empty Seats
Milwaukee Brewers v Pittsburgh Pirates, May 20. 2010


PNC Park, Sec 213, Row 10

A business trip with a group.  My first time seeing baseball in Pittsburgh (I've seen football and hockey already).  A great stadium in a phenomenal location.  Of the 4 classifications of baseball stadiums in my lifetime (Classic, Concrete Bowl, Dome, New), this is the best new stadium I have been in.  Great city views, a little intimacy.  Piss poor team for 20 years now.  But Pittsburgh has some great baseball history.

Only 13,975 was on hand for this one.  The Bucs shot out to a 3 run lead in the bottom of the 1st with a few singles, a triple followed by a double.  The Brew Crew responded in the next frame with 2 of their own.  The Brewers went ahead in the 4th, when the final score was determined.

In the annals of Major League Baseball, this was not an epic game.
