In May of 2005, the players, coaches and parents of the Brookline Little League were treated to a day at PNC Park. Hundreds of Brookline fans attended the game and watched as the Pittsburgh Pirates defeated the Atlanta Braves.

The crowd gathered in the plaza outside the stadium before the game. The weather was hot, but the kids found the water park to be a fine place to cool off. Shortly before gametime, everyone was invited inside the stadium for a walk around the warning track. A few Pirates players were on hand to greet the young ballplayers, and a field camera projected everyone's image onto the PNC scoreboard as they came past third base.

It was a fun day for everyone who attended. Special thanks go out to Greg Jones, who organized the event.
